Corona: Dhoni will get one last chance even after IPL cancellation, claims childhood coach

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s return to the IPL due to Kovid-19 is not seen yet, but his childhood coach is hopeful that he will make a place in India’s T20 World Cup squad.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s return to the IPL due to Kovid-19 is not seen yet, but his childhood coach Keshav Ranjan Banerjee is hopeful that he will make a place in India’s T20 World Cup squad. The IPL was to begin on March 29, but was suspended until April 15 due to the Corona epidemic and is expected to be canceled amid a 21-day lockdown.

The 38-year-old Dhoni has been away from cricket since India’s defeat in the World Cup semi-finals in July last year. Banerjee told the press trust from Ranchi, “The IPL does not seem to be happening in the current situation. We will have to wait for the decision of the BCCI.

Dhoni’s situation is difficult, but my sixth sense says that he will get a chance to play T20 World Cup, which will be his last World Cup. Banerjee said, ‘After he returned from Chennai I talked to him and I am in constant touch with his parents. He is doing fitness training and is fully fit.

India’s head coach Ravi Shastri had earlier said that the future of Dhoni will be decided by the IPL. As the IPL postponed, veterans like Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag questioned the return of the two-time World Cup winning captain.

Banerjee said, “It is true that he has not played any tournament since July last year, but he has experience of 538 international matches and will not take time to adjust.” He said, ‘Everything is closed in Ranchi. But he is doing fitness training at his home. They have gym, badminton court and running corridor all.
