With the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 just around the corner, all eyes will be on India which is seen as the strongest contender and on former captain MS Dhoni, who led Indian Premier League (IPL 2019) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to the final this year, is probably featuring in his last World Cup. Experts of the game believe the stumper will be a major weapon in captain Virat Kohli‘s armoury.
Speaking on Star Sports, the tournament’s official global broadcaster which introduced a new show FAB 15 that analyses each player who is part of the Indian World Cup squad going to England, former New Zealand cricketer Brendon McCullum said: “He is invaluable to the Indian team, he has a blueprint in his mind along with an approach to the game. He always puts the opposition under pressure when he arrives at the crease and reads the game perfectly. His fitness has been great, and he has been striking the ball beautifully in the recent past.”
On MSD’s recent form as a wicketkeeper and batsman, former England batsman Kevin Pietersen said: “His calmness gives him the ability to judge what’s in front of him, it doesn’t matter what situation it is, he is just one of those guys who you know would hold onto the ball when thrown at him.”
