MS Dhoni is always one hot topic which gets viral quickly. Be it his simple bike riding video, or some experts speaking about the iconic Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star, the 43-year-old's name inevitably hogs limelight. One such instance happened before the CSK vs GT game. In the pre-match show experts Suresh Raina, Aakash Chopra, Sanjay Bangar, and RP Singh were discussing about Dhoni, and within a few moments, the normal debate turned into an ugly argument.
Raina and RP Singh were in favor of Dhoni playing more for CSK, while Chopra and Bangar were against it. For the unversed, Dhoni has batted as late as number 8 for CSK this season. Often he has promoted the likes of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin ahead of him. This prompted Bangar and Chopra to say, "Whether Dhoni is still fit enough."
Should MS Dhoni retire? Experts have their say
Aaksh Chopra: If MS Dhoni wasn't an uncapped Indian, would he have been a part of the CSK team this year?
Suresh Raina: Absolutely, he has been with the team for 18 years. Even now, he hits the most sixes.
Aakash Chopra: The point is, why is he batting at No. 7, No. 8 or No. 9. Your team isn't batting well, the problems are coming from the top order. Should such a big player bat higher up? Why the reluctance? Is he even fit or no

Suresh Raina: He feels he is more comfortable in the final four overs. He is fit, keeping wickets at the age of 44. He did an interview in the middle, saying a team for the World Cup (T20) is being made, hence he wants to give others like Shivam Dube more chances.
RP Singh: After a knee surgery, he is bound to take time. Every player does. He has been keeping for 20 years, manages himself. Raina also had a knee operation done. He managed himself for some time and eventually recovered

Bangar also stated in the same video that Dhoni's presence in the team is not allowing Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja to fully flourish as leaders.
