Asia Cup 2018: Twitterati Asks MS Dhoni to Hang His Boots

The Indian great and also the former skipper, MS Dhoni is facing the criticism for his slow batting, again. Of late, MS Dhoni didn’t fare well enough for the team, as far as his batting is concerned. Meanwhile, a few fans have called MS Dhoni to hang his boots from international cricket.

The last one year of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s performance bar has struck pretty low which affected the team’s result as well. However, he has been top-notch with his wicketkeeping and doing the mentor role for the team.

Apart from the Indian Premier League, Dhoni never really showed his worth as the batsman to the cricketing world. He also received the flak in England tour and wasn’t up to the mark in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2018.

MS Dhoni also failed to take his team to the victory ropes against Afghanistan. However, it was the umpire fault there. Further, a lot of hopes has relied on him in the final of the tournament, but once again he disappointed the fans there as well.

However, it seems like BCCI would continue with MSD till the upcoming 2019 World Cup. Apart from batting, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s presence in other departments of the game is the massive boost for the team.

MS Dhoni made a massive influence in shaping the career of the youngsters, who are delivering the goods. He is also the integral player on the field helping his skipper in dealing out the issues. Considering all those facts, it is unlikely that BCCI would put their money on a new wicketkeeper.

Here are the few tweets:

MS Dhoni has been a brilliant servant for Indian cricket but perhaps it's time to call it a day. Last 12 months in ODIs:
Innings 18
Runs 386
Fifties 1
Hundreds 0
Average 27.57#Cricket #AsiaCupFinal

If you take 67 balls for 36 and then lose your wicket…

MS Dhoni is without doubt, one of India's greatest ODI players. But if he's not going to win you a chase of 223 now, then respectfully, it's time to at least start looking at alternate options. Pant perhaps? #AsiaCup #IndvBan

Ironically, the technically correct Test Batsman in MS Dhoni has come to the fore after his retirement from test cricket ? @msdhoni #AsiaCupFinal2018

Dear @msdhoni retirement please…

— Prudhvi Raj Chowdary (@Prudhvidot) September 28, 2018

As a huge @msdhoni fan, I wish he retire soon!! Can’t able to see the way he bat today . His presence in field definitely gives +ve edge during bowling!! But that should not be the only reason to be in Final squad. I wish he retire like a hero instead of force retirement!!

As a fan of Ms Dhoni I don't want him to play anymore for Indian Cricket Team with a pathetic Batting Performance :/

@msdhoni Please take the retirement from ODI. India doesn't need your service anymore. Thanks for all the efforts and contributions to Indian cricket. Let @RishabPant777 takes over.
