5 reasons why MS Dhoni should step aside from T20Is

#5 Dhoni needs to protect his legacy

MSD has a legacy to protect

MS Dhoni is one of India’s greatest ever captains and cricketers, however, watching him struggle in a format of the game that he had mastered is not going to do any favour to his legacy.

The cricket watching public will always remember the last years of his career in which he struggled to live up to his own standards as a T20 cricketer and refused to make way for a youngster.

No cricket fan would want one of India’s greatest cricketers to have such a legacy. He retired from Test cricket back in 2014 when he realised that his time was up and lived up to Vijay Merchant’s axiom on retirement, 'Retire, when people ask why? And not, when they ask why not?’. He should do the same with regards to his T20 career.
