#3 Years of experience

In his entire cricketing career spanning 15 years, MS Dhoni has played over 500 international games until today (90 Tests, 338 ODIs, 96 T20Is). It would be no exaggeration to state that he has seen everything on the cricket field and nothing can surprise him. Having him around would mean that India is very well prepared for any situation.
Apart from a very few players, the current Indian team is relatively inexperienced side and therefore, his immense experience will provide the much-needed balance to the team. His experience will be the guiding force to the young new breed of Indian cricket and most importantly, enable them to unleash their potential.
His enormous experience will prevent the team from making costly errors that could very well be the difference between India lifting the world cup and being thrown out of the tournament. In other words, MS Dhoni will be Team India’s ‘On-field coach’.
