India head coach Ravi Shastri on Thursday revealed that he spoke to MS Dhoni, around whom there’s much speculation about the former India captain’s future. Dhoni has not been in action since India’s ICC World CupWorld CupWorld Cup 2019 semi-final exit against New Zealand.
Shastri however, feels that Dhoni is almost done in the ODI format, but if he has a good Indian Premier League (IPL 2020), then he could be in contention for this year’s 2020 T20 World Cup.
“I have had a conversation with MS and that is between us,” he said.
“He has finished his Test career, he may soon end his ODI career. So, he will be left with T20, he will definitely play the IPL. One thing I know about Dhoni is that he will not impose himself on the team. But if he has a cracking IPL, well, then..,” Shastri said in an interview with CNN News18.
