ICC World Cup 2019: 4 reasons why MS Dhoni is supremely important to India's campaign

#2 Can help Virat Kohli in captaincy and field-setting related decisions

MS Dhoni is the best when it comes to setting the field.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni captained India for nearly a decade. He was hugely successful in that role too; the fortunes of the Indian side turned dramatically as soon as Dhoni took over the reins.

As his importance to the side waned a little with age though, Dhoni handed the captaincy to Virat Kohli.

Since then, Kohli has been captaining the Indian side but unlike his batting skills, he has not been flawless in this department. Kohli often fails to handle the pressure in the death overs, which has even resulted in a few defeats for India in recent times.

If Dhoni is present, then the burden on Kohli might be lessened a bit. Dhoni can help Kohli in setting the field and picking the right bowlers to bowl, which are both very crucial at the death.
