There is perhaps no cricketer and captain who has done as much for India as MS Dhoni. But once the charismatic fan favourite with a broad smile and flowing hair, Dhoni now polarizes opinion like no other cricketer with a lot of naysayers asking him to call time on his career.

Though Dhoni has time and again expressed his desire to play on till the 2019 World Cup, the omission of Yuvraj Singh is being looked upon by many as a veiled warning to him.

With MSK Prasad also saying that Dhoni should keep performing to stay in the team, the pressure is piling up on the former Indian captain. But whenever he has found himself under pressure, Dhoni has always found a way to let his bat do the talking.

With this being almost a do-or-die series for him, this might bring out the very best from Dhoni. He will be the one under close scrutiny in this series.
