S Badrinath Thinks MS Dhoni Must Take a Call on His...
Former Team India, as well as, Chennai Super Kings player S Badrinath thinks that former India captain MS Dhoni should take a call on his international future soon but he also shared that the choice should be left on him only. MS Dhoni has been out of the action ever since India lost to New Zealand in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in England. His absence led the speculation of his retirement too but that didn’t stay long as he started practising for the 13th edition of Indian Premier League as well. Badrinath has played under Dhoni's captaincy in both IPL and India as well.
"It’s important he chooses. His body is also something that has gone through quite a bit. There’s a reason why he doesn’t play First-Class cricket or Test cricket because his back has also troubled him. It happens with any keeper, once you’ve played so much cricket under so much stress," Badrinath told Hindustan Times.
He further added, "He’s probably taking stock of how much he’s left in him. A player of his calibre, nobody should decide whether he should play the T20 World Cup, he should play IPL. It’s upto MS to decide what he wants to decide. Right now, there is too much speculation going around as well, most of it is not true."
Badrinath also shared some insight about Chennai Super Kings where he told that despite how one performs, the owners treated every player the same. "One thing that I learnt from Dhoni was that if something is going well, it’s important not to tamper with it. Even we don’t know, but something is working. And it’s better to not touch it. CSK is one of the most grounded franchises because we always went there and did our jobs."
