Amongst the current crop of Indian players that are in contention for selection for T20Is, MS Dhoni is the only player from the triumphant Indian squad that tasted glory in the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007.

It's a no-brainer that Dhoni's inclusion can also work wonders for the team, despite what the critics have been saying about him.

The backlash that Dhoni has received over the last few years is harsh, since his abilities have faded with age. However, his experience and tactical acumen can prove to be invaluable.

Dhoni will be 39 come the T20 World Cup next year. However, age is just a number. After all, Australian wrist spinner Brag Hogg last represented Australia in a T20I at the age of 43.

Dhoni is on a break currently, and we can expect him to mark his return during the upcoming series against Bangladesh on home soil starting from 3 November. He will be tasked with a Herculean challenge upon his comeback - to silence his critics and show the world that he can still be a fundamental part of the squad.
