Team India captain Virat Kohli may have reacted sharply against the voices about MS Dhoni 's place in the T20 team, but such discussions are not taking the name out very soon. After former cricketer VVS Laxman and Ajit Agarkar, and now another former Indian cricketer has advocated removing Dhoni from the T20 team not mocking for retirement but next series against Sri Lanka. Former opener and commentator Akash Chopra believes that any other player should be selected by removing Dhoni from the T20 series against Sri Lanka. He said that after the series against Sri Lanka India have to go on a tour of South Africa which will be very challenging.

Akash Chopra is known for his technical analysis specialist, India-New Zealand series has been completed. Now the team has to play against Sri Lanka. This series is not very difficult and can be thought of in the upcoming tour of South Africa with a chance. Against the top-ranked South African team, you have to play T20 matches too. It can be challenging for the team. "I think the time is right for the Sri Lankan team to give another chance in the India tour. Since Dhoni's figures have been moving around for the last one year. India's announcement against Sri Lanka is yet to be announced. It would be interesting to see if the selector can take the courage to give chance to another player in place of Dhoni. Against Sri Lanka, the Indian team has to play three Tests, three ODIs and three T20 matches.
