NEW DELHI: The Former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in all possibility will play in the knock-outs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy after Jharkhand qualified for the quarter-finals .
After coming back from Asia Cup, Dhoni has been training with the Jharkhand team but didn’t play in the group league matches.
In the recent times,there has been growing concerns about his batting form as he has not been able to play freely during the middle overs even though he has the safest pair of gloves along with a sharp tactical mind.
In the current year, Dhoni has played only 15 ODIs and 7 T20 Internationals – effectively only 22 days for India and it is clearly evident that Dhoni is short of match practice in recent years after leaving test cricket.
Playing in domestic tournament may help Dhoni regain his form and he can also guide youngsters. All the knock-out matches will be held in Bengaluru. India’s limited overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma will also be playing for Mumbai.
