5 reasons why MS Dhoni should step aside from T20Is

#4 Indian team could be left in the lurch for years

India need to groom an able replacement for Dhoni

Great teams are extremely efficient as far as succession planning is concerned and if India’s T20 team wants to be a world beater then it should do the same. That is something that should not only be restricted to easing out MS Dhoni from the side but succession in other areas of the team as well, when the time comes.

If the team continues to play him without trying out replacements then they would be in the lurch when Dhoni finally calls it a day. He occupies an extremely important position in the batting order and finding replacements without grooming anyone for the job will be disastrous for the team’s long term T20 future.

It is a tough call, of course, but good teams do not shy away from those.
