With the fate of the IPL pending, Dhoni’s future has come under increased scrutiny. But speaking on a Star Sports show, former England captain Nasser Hussain said it was best not to push Dhoni into retirement because once he is gone, you cannot get him back.
“Is Dhoni still good enough to get on the Indian side? It’s as simple as that. That should apply to anyone across the board. What I’ve seen of Dhoni, I still think he has a lot to offer cricket. Indian”. Yes, there have been one or two occasions when he was wrong in the chases, like that World Cup match against England, but overall Dhoni is still a great talent.
“And be careful what you wish for because once Dhoni leaves, there is no way to get him back. There are some legends of the game who are cricketers once in a generation. Don’t push him into early retirement. Only Dhoni knows his mental state and in the end the selectors select, “he said.
Coach Shastri had previously said: “It all depends on when you start playing and how you play during the IPL, what are the other people doing with the gloves to guard the gate or what is the shape of those players as opposed to the way of Dhoni ” The IPL becomes a massive tournament because that could be the last tournament after which your 15 or so are decided (for the T20 World Cup).
“There could be a player who could be there and around in case of injury or whatever. But his team, I would say, would be known after the IPL. What he would say is more than speculating on who is where, waiting for the IPL to overcome and then be in a position to serve the 17 best in the country. ”
However, uncertainty about the IPL persists, after its scheduled start on March 29 was postponed until April 15 due to the coronavirus pandemic. A new decision is expected.
