Many believed that time was up for Captain Cool in the shortest format of the game; however, chief of selectors MSK Prasad admitted that they were looking for the second wicket-keeper.
“He [Dhoni] is not going to play the six T20Is [West Indies and Australia] because we are looking at the second keeper’s slot. So I think we will retain Rishabh [Pant] and Dinesh Karthik. So they will be getting a chance to keep and bat. It is not the end of Dhoni in T20Is,” MSK Prasad justified.
