3 reasons why India must persist with Dhoni until the conclusion of 2019 World Cup

#1 Experience

Kohli loves to extract knowledge from Dhoni

EXPERIENCE - This 10-letter word is‘Gold’ in any sports. Irrespective of the sport, ‘Experience’ always plays a major role in deciding a winner, especially in a do-or-die situation. Even though ‘Skill’ is the main attribute for any sportsman, ‘Experience + Skill’ will always be the deciding factor in a crunching situation.

90 Tests, 321 ODIs, 93 T20Is, 175 IPL games - These are not mere numbers. These are invaluable experiences, which includes a huge chunk of do-or-die situations. Despite a ‘C’ or ‘VC’ not attached at the end of his name, one can see that he is making the fielding changes most of the times. Moreover, he is the first person to whom Kohli runs up to whenever the team is in a critical situation. Especially in the case of DRS (Decision Review System), Dhoni is the ultimate decision-maker in the team.

With the World Cup almost less than a year away, it is better to stick with Dhoni until the conclusion of the marquee event.

At the same time, fresh blood must be injected into the ODI setup post the 2019 World Cup.
