BCCI Chief Selector MSK Prasad has said that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will no longer be included in the ODI squad by default. Instead, the former captain will have to prove that he deserves to be included in the 2019 World Cup squad. Dhoni may have retired from Test cricket but he is still active in 50-over matches and T20 matches. He is not getting any younger and will be 38 when the 2019 World Cup arrives, this has Prasad concerned. [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/dhoni-getty-1498894147-300x213.jpg]MS Dhoni Prasad drew comparisons with tennis legend Andre Agassi when referring to Dhoni.?I was just reading (Andre) Agassi’s book “Open”, his life actually started after 30 years,” said Prasad “Till then he won two or three (grand slams). His actual life started after that. “He lived with media pressure, ‘When are you going to retire?’ But he played till 36 and he won so many grand slams. So you never know.” He also said that if he can consistently perform, he will in all likelihood be included in the team. Prasad also made it clear that the BCCI was not doubting his wicket-keeping skills or fitness, instead it was his batting ability. He was silent about the possibility of Dhoni being rested as part of the BCCI’s rotation policy. But Yuvraj Singh has been rested for the Sri Lanka tour due to this strategy.

Profile

Mahendra Singh Dhoni represents the old guard in Indian cricket. He made his debut in the national side back in 2004 for the ODI team. A year later, MS Dhoni made his maiden Test appearance and finally, in 2006, he kicked off his T20 career.

The 37-year old has been a stalwart in the Indian team and he has brought a lot of success to the team. Back in 2014, he announced his retirement from Test cricket, but has continued to play in limited overs.

IPL Career

MS Dhoni is one of the few players who has stuck around the IPL since its inception. He joined the Chennai Super Kings for a fee of $1.5 million, making him the most expensive player at the time.

Since then, he has remained with the side until IPL 2015. In 2016 and 2017, he joined Rising Pune Supergiant after CSK were banned. But now, he is back in the yellow jersey and once again performing well.

During his tenure with CSK, MS Dhoni has lead the team to three IPL championships, including back-to-back wins. In essence, they are the first team to ever defend their title.

Even with Rising Pune Supergiant, Dhoni's troops were not to be trifled with and they were a force to be reckoned with. In fact, in 2017, Pune even reached the final, losing to eventual champions, Mumbai.

Expectations for IPL 2019

With regard to IPL 2019, the Chennai Super Kings are on the hunt for their second back-to-back title win. If they do win, it will be their 4th ever and they will break the deadlock with the Mumbai Indians.

However, the competition will be tougher than ever. All the teams will be eager to put a stop to the CSK juggernaut. MS Dhoni is a capable leader and is no stranger to the winning mentality.

One thing that CSK is known for is, valuing experience over youth and they have opted for that same strategy in IPL 2019.
