Why does MS Dhoni t feature?

While MS Dhoni was a very vital part of Indian lineup in 2010s, his T20I prowess was more of a hit or miss. Dhoni has taken India home on numerous occasions over decade but great man could also be held responsible for t firing in some situations, which exactly needed a player like him.

Maybe India's lack of T20I games also affected Dhoni's opportunities as he has only been able to score 1617 runs in 98 matches he has played. Dhoni's T20I strike-rate has also t been on 'explosive' side as Indian legend only scored runs at a strike-rate of 126.13. In last decade, Jos Buttler proved far more T20I-consistent and refore, it is possible that he outweighed Dhoni in value that y brought to team as a wicketkeeper-batsman.
