Kapil Dev on MS Dhoni comeback

MS Dhoni does not have a BCCI central contract and is not featuring in the domestic tournaments going around in the country. The former Indian captain has been out of action since India got ousted from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 when they lost to New Zealand in the semi-finals. Following this, Dhoni has been on an extended break and this has prompted plenty of debates and deliberations over his future.

Weighing on this issue, former World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev has said that Dhoni’s comeback looks difficult as he has not played cricket for a long time now and hence, it will not be easy for the selectors to pick him even when he is available.
“If you haven’t played cricket for so long then I don’t think you can come back from anywhere. But he still has IPL, his form there’ll be important and selectors should see what is best for the country. Dhoni has done a lot for the country but when you don’t play for 6-7 months, you leave a doubt in everyone’s mind. And then that creates a lot of discussions which shouldn’t happen,” Kapil told ABP News
The upcoming IPL season is extremely important for several Indian players as the selectors will be watching them closely owing to the T20 World Up which will be held in Australia later this year.
“It all depends on when he starts playing and how he is playing during the IPL. What are the other people doing with the wicket-keeping gloves or what is the form of those players as opposed to Dhoni’s form. The IPL becomes a massive tournament because that could be the last tournament after which more or less your 15 is decided,” Shastri told IANS.
“There might be one player who might be there and thereabouts in case of an injury or whatever. But your team I would say would be known after the IPL. What I would say is rather than speculating of who is where, wait for the IPL to get over and then you are in a position to take a call on who are the best 17 in the country,” he said.

India vs New Zealand: ‘Not in the ODIs, not even the IPL' - KL Rahul

for India the biggest takeaway from their dominant series win over New Zealand was the form and consistency of KL Rahul. The opener was adjudged man of the series for his record-breaking performance. Speaking after the final match, Rahul spoke about how he spent a lot of time with Kane Williamson when they played for Sunrisers Hyderabad back in 2015-15. He also said that his game is pretty similar to the New Zealand captain and that, he loved watching Williamson go about his business. However, at the same time, he also hoped that the Kiwi skipper did not have a telling say over the upcoming ODI series or even in the IPL. © Photo by Nigel French/PA Images via Getty Images India's KL Rahul “I have spent a lot of time with Kane during 2014, 2015 when I was with Sunrisers and he was with Sunrisers.

Opinion Greatest Cricket Batsmen of All Time By Tevin Joseph K O on March 6, 2019 50 Slides Next Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar after becoming the highest run-getter in Mohali, India, in 2008. He might be cricket's leading scorer, but he's not number one on this list. Gautam Singh / AP Photo Cricket is a batsman’s game. Some batsmen paint beautiful pictures with their strokes and score runs. Some make runs with patience and grit. Some destroy bowling attacks with an onslaught. At the end of the match, what counts is how many runs are scored, no matter how they come. Players can win matches with their batting. They also can save matches. These are the 50 best match-winners/savers with the bat in cricket history. Note: To qualify, batsmen must have a minimum of 5,000 runs in international  cricket. For players who played before the introduction of One Day International (ODI) matches on Jan. 5, 1971, only Tests are considered. ...
