ICC World Cup 2019: 5 bold predictions for the showpiece event 

#1 MS Dhoni to retire immediately after the World Cup

MS Dhoni may soon hang up his boots from international cricket

The year 2019 likely to witness MS Dhoni making his last World Cup appearance. Now in the twilight of his career, the celebrated Indian cricketer hasn't found the going easy of late.

While his blistering show in the recently concluded IPL will not be forgotten anytime soon, sights of him panting and cramping during a prolonged innings have caused plenty of worries to his fans.

However, Dhoni is the most experienced man in India's 15 member squad for the WC. Apart from playing a crucial role with the bat down the order, the former Indian skipper is also expected to help Virat Kohli with on-field tactics.

Expect Dhoni to be at his full prowess and finish off on a high note before biding adieu to his beloved game, and make way for the likes of Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan.
