The 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman appeared to be struggling with the bat in India's international  engagements last year. However, Dhoni displayed a promising show when India toured Australia and New Zealand. He scored a fifty-plus knocks thrice in a row as India clinched the three-match series 2-1 to register their first-ever bilateral ODI series win in Australia.
Dhoni has been impressive in the ongoing IPL 2019 as well, leading Chennai Super Kings from the front to top of the table and qualify for the playoffs.
Dhoni is the top run-scorer for CSK with 314 runs in 10 matches of the IPL 2019. He has scored three half-centuries in the season so far.
While some critics constantly try to write him off citing his age and fitness, fans of Dhoni don't hesitate to call him still the best in the business.

His presence in the field is always pleasant for the fans..
In IPL 2019, Dhoni missed a match on April 26 that CSK lost by 46 runs to Mumbai Indians. Earlier, they conceded a six-wicket defeat against SunRisers Hyderabad in the absence of Dhoni.
Talking about Dhoni's importance in a unit like CSK, coach Stephen Fleming, was quoted by ICC, saying: "He's a great player and a great leader, so whenever you take that out of your side ... and he's been a constant for us for so many years that you just get into the rhythms of having him there."
