The Wicket Keeper batsman has already been away from cricket since 2019 World Cup Semi final and with the postponement of IPL would it be very tough for him to find a place in the team?<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MS Dhoni Is Getting Better And Better<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/DSsz0GZUQAA48Cz?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" alt=\"MS Dhoni Can Still Make It To Indian squad\" width=\"746\" height=\"467\"\/><figcaption>Suresh Raina And MS Dhoni in CSK jersey (Image Credits: Twitter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Suresh Raina, former Indian team member and a close friend of Dhoni, thinks differently than the general perception. Raina, in a program of \u2018Sports Tak\u2019 said that the \u201ccaptain cool\u201d is fit and ready to play for India in international stage. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"R8pU2j-et3Y\"><iframe title=\"SURESH RAINA EXCLUSIVE: Dhoni \u0915\u0940 Batting \u0926\u0947\u0916 \u0932\u0917\u093e \u0909\u0928\u092e\u0947\u0902 Cricket \u092c\u093e\u0915\u0940, IPL \u0939\u0941\u0906 \u0924\u094b \u0916\u0941\u0926 \u091c\u0940 \u091c\u093e\u0928 \u0932\u0917\u093e \u0926\u0942\u0901\u0917\u093e\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R8pU2j-et3Y?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>Suresh Raina during the Interview on &#8220;Sports Tak&#8221;, where he said that MS Dhoni can still make it to Indian squad.

Talking further, the left handed batsman said, \u201c It seems everything is getting better and better, be it his wicket keeping skill or batting skill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Gautam Gambhir Is Of A Different View<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>However, Gautam Gambhir does not feel the same about MS Dhoni\u2019s future. Known for his candor, the cricketer turned commentator raised some serious questions. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>What will be the criteria of his selection if IPL 2020 is going to be deferred, when he hasn\u2019t played any form of cricket since July &nbsp;2019, asked Gambhir.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c.ndtvimg.com\/2020-02\/ehnsp9lo_kl-rahul-afp_625x300_06_February_20.jpg\" alt=\"MS Dhoni Can Still Make It To Indian squad\"\/><figcaption>KL Rahul during one of the matches against NZ (Image Credits: NDTV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The former cricketer also thinks that KL Rahul could be the most suitable replacement for Dhoni. KL can bat at any position according to the demand of the game and at the same time he can keep wickets which makes him a suitable alternate for Dhoni, believes the left handed batsman. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Gambhir emphasized his statement with the recent performance by KL Rahul against New Zealand and Australia, where KL did exceptionally well as a batsman and a Wicket keeper. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>In the series against Australia, KL scored 146 runs in three innings while batting in different positions. Followed by the NZ series where he finished as the leading scorer in the T20 series.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Mahi Bhai Looked Very Good<\/strong>: <strong>Piyush<\/strong> <strong>Chawla<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/EVijAuiXkAE0JS2?format=jpg&amp;name=medium\" alt=\"MS Dhoni Can Still Make It To Indian Squad\"\/><figcaption>MS Dhoni during an IPL match in the 12th edition of the T20 League (Image Credits: Twitter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, cricket enthusiasts do not feel that Dhoni has a competition in KL. In addition to batting and keeping, the Ranchi lad has a special skill of understanding and adapting to the situation of game better than anyone else in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Dhoni\u2019s teammate in CSK, Piyush Chawla joined the discussion on the hot topic recently. Like Raina, he too thinks that Dhoni already has a future plan on which he is working upon. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>The former Indian Spinner revealed that &#8216;captain cool&#8217; was showing match like intensity in practice sessions.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cMahi bhai was absolutely focused, training purposefully and was looking really very good.

But at the same time the fact\u00a0 cannot be ignored that Dhoni can do what other\u2019s can only think of. So rather than making perceptions everyone should wait for Dhoni\u2019 stance even if it\u2019s a bit unorthodox.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-color has-very-light-gray-background-color\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kyrosports\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Follow us on facebook for more sports news &amp; updates (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Follow us on facebook for more sports news &amp; updates<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MS Dhoni Can Still Make It To Indian Squad, Believes Raina.
