A fit, in-form Dhoni is an asset, India can't look beyond him: Wasim Jaffer
Former India opener and domestic legend Wasim
Jaffer has said that going into the T20 World Cup, Team India cannot look
beyond veteran wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni, if he is fit and in
form.
Jaffer, who announced his retirement from all
forms of the game earlier this month, claimed Dhoni's inclusion could ease the
pressure on KL Rahul or Rishabh Pant; who are currently sharing the gloves for
Team India in limited-overs cricket.
"If Dhoni is fit and in form I think we
can't look beyond him as he'll be an asset behind the stumps and also lower
down the order. It'll take the pressure of keeping off Rahul and India can play
Pant as a batsman too if they want a lefty," Jaffer said in a tweet.
Dhoni, 38, last played for India at the 2019
World Cup in England where the Men in Blue were knocked out in the semi-finals.
Since then, he has been on a sabbatical and is due to appear on the cricket
field in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
