#1 End of an era?

Is this going to be MS Dhoni's last year in international cricket?

Keeping the exciting and possibly joyous aspects aside, let us now focus on the possible emotional events of 2019. This year, as predicted by many fans and pundits, is expected to be the last year of some Indian legends. To start off, Harbhajan Singh, who now is playing the role of an expert, might call it an end this year. The 38-year-old cricketer has represented his nation over 350 times across all formats.

The next in the list is Yuvraj Singh, the driving force behind India's title-winning 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup campaign. Singh celebrated his 37th birthday a few days back and is miles off from national team consideration.

Finally, we have to put a stone over our chest and accept the harsh truth, which is, this might be the last year we will see Mahendra Singh Dhoni in an Indian shirt. The 37-year-old, who has been one of the best Indian captains ever, if not the very best, is certainly way past his prime. Though he is back in the Indian limited-overs side, keeping the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in mind, the talk of the town is that Dhoni will hang his boots after the World Cup.
