#1. M.S. Dhoni
The media had started to raise questions about Dhoni's place in the Indian team. But over the last 12 months, Dhoni has answered his critics expertly. Now he will be looking to win the Asia Cup one last time as he enters the last few years of his storied career.
Dhoni has been a consistent pillar of this Indian side for more than a decade. But the reality is that age is starting to get the better of him. Still, he has shown that he can be a big contributor to this Indian side. The team's struggles to replace him in Tests just show how important a role he plays.
With the World Cup on the horizon, this is most probably Dhoni's last year in the Indian jersey. And he will be keen to win everything possible before he finally hangs up his boots.
Dhoni might not be the youngest guy in the Indian dressing room anymore, but there is still a lot left in the gas tank.
