I see MS Dhoni playing 2020 World T20, says Ashish Nehra

Ashish Nehra opines that conclusions must not be drawn on MS Dhoni's performance based on just one or two series.

Despite hosts India coming up with a fighting performance to tame New Zealand in the T20I series, there have been concerns regarding the performance of few members in the Indian side. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni‘s performance, too, has come under scrutiny of late after the former skipper seemed to have struggled to score runs. However, former Indian pacer Ashish Nehra opined that conclusions must not be drawn on Dhoni’s performance based on just one or two series, and said that Dhoni himself is the right person to take a call on his career. Nehra also backed Dhoni to play in the 2020 World T20. Virat Kohli: Hardik Pandya could not have scored at MS Dhoni’s position in 3rd T20I against New Zealand

On Dhoni’s future

“In every house, you need an elder one and he is there. I hope till next two to three years or as long as his body allows he plays. Cricket is a game of conditions definitely and it is not easy to perform. If it was in mind or if I am coach or captain I will be on his head that he has to play. I am not saying he doesn’t perform he has to play. He is the first guy who will raise his hand and say I am retiring if he is not performing. But I personally feel we should leave at MS Dhoni and let him play cricket,” said Nehra, as reported by ANI.

“He is one guy who is very honest with himself and the country. So, he should definitely play. I see him even to play T20 World Cup in 2020. If I can be a fast bowler at the age of 39. So, with MS Dhoni and his fitness, he can definitely play.”
