5 reasons why MS Dhoni should play the 2019 World Cup

The Kohli-Dhoni relationship

England v India - 2nd Vitality International T20

Since Virat Kohli has been the captain of the Indian team, he has received a lot of help from Dhoni in limited overs cricket. Dhoni has openly helped Kohli on the field and Kohli has also accepted it, brushing aside all the ego. The two share a great bond and can be seen having discussions on the field.

At some vital stages of the games, Dhoni can be seen adjusting the field from behind the stumps, talking to Kohli about bowling changes and also trying to advice the bowlers about how to bowl to a particular batsman. In all, Dhoni can still be termed an "unofficial" captain of the team and credit must also be given to Virat Kohli for letting Dhoni perform that role. In the World Cup, Dhoni can play a vital role and help the bowlers and his skipper, who will be leading his side for the first time in a World Cup.
