5 reasons why MS Dhoni should continue playing till the 2019 World Cup

Still fit to carry on

He’s 35, but still runs faster than most of the youngest lot, as was evident during his run-out of Mustafizur Rahman against Bangladesh in the World T20 last year. As a batsman, he relies on the singles and doubles in the middle overs, covering the pitch swiftly and always assessing the possibility of getting an extra run.

Even though he’ll be pushing 38 when he the World Cup another shot, you can be sure that Dhoni will still be in at par with a majority of players as far as fitness is a parameter. Also, Dhoni’s technique doesn’t really rely on feet movement, a characteristic that invariably slows down as a batsman ages. He’s been unconventional throughout his career, and will end being one even when his career ends.
