NEW DELHI: Mahendra Singh Dhoni has written his own script a majority of these years but omission from India's T20 squad may pressure him to challenge into unchartered terrains shifting into the 2019 World Cup in England.
While the 37-year-old is understood to keep his cards close to his chest, but it seems that the ODI World Cup may just be the closing time that this once-in-a-generation participant dons the India blues.
The national variety committee has proven first signs of phasing him out from one of the most two limited-overs codecs and T20 certainly appears to be extra handy for the five smart males.
"It's a given that Dhoni won't be around when next ICC World T20 happens in Australia in 2020. So, there wasn't any point continuing with him if he will not play World T20," a senior BCCI authentic privy to variety coverage informed PTI on Saturday.
"Obviously, the selectors and team management had a excellent deliberation in this factor. Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were present at the variety committee assembly.
"You think selectors will have long past ahead without their approval?" the authentic stated.
In the yr 2018, Dhoni performed seven T20 Internationals with an unbeaten 52 off 28 balls towards South Africa being the highlight.
If that inning is taken out, Dhoni has scored 71 runs off 51 balls in the rest six fits that he has performed.
It's no secret that Dhoni is the first choice wicketkeeper for the England World Cup but a lot depends on how he plays within the closing three ODIs towards West Indies.
More so because he will once more be out of match practice for the next two months till India play their next lot of ODIs from January to March.
The chairman of selectors MSK Prasad spoke about taking a look at a 2d choice keeper and the flowery Rishabh Pant has already earned the vote of self assurance from the team management.
That precisely is the reason why selectors could chance losing Dhoni from the shortest structure.
But what would occur if Dhoni's bat fails to speak for him within the coming fits is the question this is doing the rounds.
Once the West Indies sequence will get over, Dhoni will not even get to play domestic 50-over fits with both Deodhar and Vijay Hazare Trophy getting over.
"If Pant plays smartly and Dhoni's inconsistent run continues, would you still call him a simple task for World Cup? On what foundation?" wondered a former India participant.
"The loss of recreation time has been beautiful glaring this yr. I don't know perhaps he's pondering that from January till World Cup, he will be taking part in numerous video games including IPL for CSK and he doesn't want practice," the previous global added.
For anyone, who has been fiercely guarded and at times even tough to contact, it's tough to gauge his thoughts.
Dhoni's primary decisions, retiring from Tests or quitting limited-overs captaincy may glance instinctive but those that have observed him closely know how much idea process is going into it.
While the World Cup, in all probability, will be his swansong, no person can slightly disregard the stunning method by which he called time on his Test profession -- in the midst of a chain, after a normal press convention the place he didn't even drop a hint, thru a brief BCCI press release.
With Mahendra Singh Dhoni, not anything may also be ruled out.
