#1 MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni needs no introduction. He’s India’s most successful captain. His achievements when donning the blue shirt are just extraordinary. He’s still very much a part of the nation’s plans in the shorter formats of the game. It’s thought he’ll call it quits after the World Cup in England next year.
MS Dhoni is also mightily successful when it comes to franchise cricket. He’s the heart and soul of the CSK team in the IPL. But recently, his form’s begun to wobble a bit. India would want him in prime form for his final send-off at the World Cup. He’s not part of the Test team. While the Test team are going about their business, the CPL is ongoing, as is the English domestic T20 competition. He could hit himself back into form.
