MS Dhoni [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ms-dhoni/] retiring from International cricket is a very sensitive topic in India that no one wants to ponder upon. However, everyone knows that his retirement is on the horizon with the legendary player turning 38 today. MS Dhoni is facing huge criticism for his slow batting strike rate in the last few games at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/cricket/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019/]. The wicket-keeper batsman has been in constant pressure since the past one year to hang up his boots. MS Dhoni [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-46-9.jpeg] Dhoni has not yet decided about his retirement date but he is most likely to retire after the completion of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_World_Cup] 2019. However, Dhoni has always been unpredictable as he previously unforeseeably quit captaincy from all the three formats of cricket. MS Dhoni said in a statement before their match against Sri Lanka on Saturday that he does not have any idea when he will retire from International cricket. He said, “I don’t know when I will retire. But a lot of people want me to retire before tomorrow’s game.” MS Dhoni [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-47-8.jpeg] However, a BCCI official told PTI that he is likely to retire after ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. The BCCI official said as quoted by PTI, “You never know with MS Dhoni. But it is unlikely that he will continue to play for India after this World Cup. But since his decisions to quit captaincy from the three formats have been taken so suddenly, it is very difficult to predict at the moment.” The tenure of the current selection committee will end in October. However, they would like to make some changes before October, eyeing the T20 World Cup scheduled next year in Australia. MS Dhoni [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-48-8.jpeg] However, with team India qualifying for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 semifinals, neither the team management nor the board wants to talk about Dhoni’s retirement. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the former captain of team India [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/icc-cricket-world-cup-2019-india/], took the ‘Men in Blue’ to new highs after taking the responsibility in 2007. He led the team to win the 2007 Twenty-20 World Cup and the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. India also won their first Champions Trophy in 2013 in England under his captaincy. He also took India to the no. 1 spot in the ICC Test Rankings for the first time.

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.
