While there are no doubts that Dhoni has been India’s most successful captain in their cricket history, the wicketkeeper-batsman has had his share of criticism, which never ceases for him. Despite taking India to the semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 after a poor tour of Australia, which includes the horrendous triangular series, Dhoni copped lot of flak after the team’s loss to the eventual winners Australia.
Dhoni has given up the Test captaincy in a bid to prolong his Test career, and it is likely that he will continue to bat at No. 4 in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 cricket, which began in the forgettable tour of Bangladesh.
