4 reasons why MS Dhoni should retire from international cricket

Low average when the middle-order is unsettled

His lack of runs hurting the already unsettled middle order

The Indian middle order conundrum has been going on for quite some time now. India has tried a lot of players above and below Dhoni in the batting order. The only one who seems to have cemented his place is Kedar Jadhav, that too, more for his bowling prowess than his batting.

Therefore, the role of Dhoni in the middle order is more important. He should have been their rock to guide them, to cement their place, but Dhoni himself is faltering too many a times to support these players.

Considering 2018 again, in 15 matches this year, he is averaging a lowly 28.13. He has not been able to score a half-century this year with 42* being his highest score. While in 2017, he did average 60 and in 2016, his average was 27.80.
