Mohammad Kaif reckons MS Dhoni still has lot to offer to Indian cricket
On Tuesday, June 23, Indian cricket team celebrated the seventh anniversary of their ICC Champions Trophy triumph in 2013. As India celebrated seven-year anniversary of the glorious victory, former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif opined that MS Dhoni still has a lot to offer to Indian cricket. Mohammad Kaif took to Twitter and shared pictures of MS Dhoni with all three ICC trophies and went on to praise the former India captain for his achievements as a player and as a captain.
MS Dhoni's leadership has been lauded by many over the years for India's Champions Trophy win. The win came after he was accused of spot-fixing in the IPL 2013 and was under tremendous pressure from media and public speculations. With the Indian team under a cloud after CSK's team principal and 3 Rajasthan Royals players were accused of corruption, Dhoni was credited for pulling a relatively young team together and forget outside happenings. Virat Kohli claimed in an 2018 interview on Breakfast with Champions that the team just looked to enjoy themselves with Dhoni focussing on making India the best fielding side in the world under his captaincy and that tournament was proof of the same.
MS Dhoni has been on a sabbatical since the end of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England where India were knocked out by New Zealand in the semi-final. MS Dhoni was supposed to make a comeback in the IPL 2020 where he was set to lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK) but the tournament was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. The cash-rich league was considered as a crucial competition to bring MS Dhoni back into the scheme of things.
MS Dhoni's performance in the IPL 2020 would also have decided if he made it to the Indian team for the T20 World Cup that is supposed to be played in Australia later this year. There is no clear picture regarding the 38-year old's future with the Indian team. It will be interesting to see how Dhoni's India career pans out if the IPL 2020 is called off.
