Many were of the belief that MS Dhoni should now step down from T20 cricket. There have been constants fingers raised on Dhoni’s place in the T20 team and he has always responded like a boss in terms of performance.
He has always proved his worth and has always given a narrative as to why he’s still a much better wicket keeper batsman than any youngster in the pipeline.

MS Dhoni finished Indian innings with a huge six and that six was more of a cracking response to the likes of those who raised questions over his place in the T20 side.
