Dhoni is currently having a good time with his family as he has retired from the longest version of the game; however, he is an integral part of the limited overs squad. He will soon get back to training as India is scheduled to take on Sri Lanka for a three-match ODI starting from December 10 followed by three T20I after the Test series gets done and dusted.
Dhoni has been under criticism for quite some time now, a few of the former cricketers are of the view that Dhoni should retire from the T20 format to concentrate more on the ODI game.
