5 reasons why the Indian cricket team requires MS Dhoni 

#2 Performance in difficult situations

Dhoni has indeed been a reliable batsman in the lower order

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known to be remarkably calm under pressure. The 'captain cool' ensures that he is calm and also provides steadiness to the team at times of strain. The experience that Dhoni possesses can be an invaluable asset for the young Kohli-led Indian side. This characteristic of his will be extremely handy during the 2019 World Cup and the upcoming overseas tours in 2018.

With the bat, he has been extremely reliable when the top-order failed. In the recently concluded series with Sri Lanka and Australia, he performed brilliantly especially when the rest of the team failed to contribute. His ability with the bat is often assisted by his tactical analysis of the match situation and can also provide significant guidance to Kohli. His experience and ability to handle pressure will probably be a significant benefit for the young team in 2018.
