MS Dhoni Sidelined after World Cup 2019, Chief Selector Expressed Desire to Move On
Former Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, with 829 dismissals behind the wicket, was arguably the best and a quick wicket-keeper but was struggling to make runs with the bat in his last days. Dhoni made himself unavailable after the 2019 World-Cup semi-final, and announced his retirement on August 15. Former chief selector, MSK Prasad at that time also expressed his desire to move on and provide opportunities to the youngsters.
