5 reasons why India should persist with MS Dhoni in T20Is

India & Australia Nets Session

At the age of 36, Dhoni continues to be one of the fittest cricketers in the Indian cricket team. The former Indian captain is fit as a fiddle and can give several youngsters in the team a run for their money on the field.

Agile and still freakishly quick, he was ranked amongst the top 5 in the yo-yo test - a fitness test held at the NCA in Bangalore earlier this year.

On the other hand, veterans such as Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina have failed the yo-yo test on multiple occasions and thus, are not in the reckoning anymore.

In fact, Dhoni's fitness seems to be improving with age and it will come as no surprise if he continues to remain this fit until the 2019 World Cup.
