MSD’S LAST MILE?

- MUHAMMAD ZAID Via email

As MS Dhoni entered the ground to bat in the 3rd and final T20 match against New Zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton achieving another milestone of playing 300 matches in his T20 career, the man took a big risk to show the panel, on which "farewell match of MS Dhoni in New Zealand" was written. Now, there lies a big question whether this upcoming World Cup will be the last tournament for MSD. Did he lose his cricketing abilities? Looking at his fitness, briskness behind the wickets and safe running between the wicket, he still has much potential to play for two or three more years. The longer he plays, the lesser Indian skipper Virat Kohli will face difficulti­es as a captain since MS Dhoni possesses a great cricketing brain and his presence in the team would be helpful for Kohli in making-decision.
