Dhoni had to face criticism for his slow batting approach during India’s matches in the high-profile game. This year, Dhoni did not find a place for himself in the BCCI’s centrally contracted players list.
The board had released the list of central contract list of players for the period from October 2019 to September 2020. Dhoni is the only captain to win all major ICC trophies (50-over World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy).
Under his leadership, India also managed to attain the number one ranking in Test cricket. Dhoni would have been leading the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) if the Indian Premier League (IPL) had commenced from March 29.
However, the tournament has been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. (ANI)
