Harbhajan Singh Believes MS Dhoni Will Make It Into India's T20 World Cup Squad

Legendary Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has stated that believes that MS Dhoni will make it in the Indian T20 World Cup squad if he makes himself available for selection. Dhoni was last seen in the Indian colours in the semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Unfortunately, India lost the game to New Zealand and were eliminated from the competition. Since then, Dhoni has been away from the Indian team.

His return was much anticipated with the return of IPL 2020 this year as e was back to the field sweating it hard for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, the BCCI had to postpone the tournament indefinitely due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. And, this has again given way to speculations on Dhoni’s future with team India.

However, Harbhajan Singh has no doubts that MS Dhoni will be a part of the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup later this year in Australia.

Harbhajan Singh Believes MS Dhoni Will Return To The Indian Team

“How do you judge Dhoni? Do you see his IPL form or give him respect and consider the fact that he is one of India’s greatest players and captains. The guy has done a lot for Indian cricket,” Harbhajan Singh told IANS news agency.

“MS Dhoni is a big big player. He doesn’t need to be told if he is capable or not. So I don’t think you need to ponder too much about it. If you think you need Dhoni, and if he is available, you pick him,” Bhajji added.

Former Cricketers Divided On Dhoni’s Return To Team India

Recently, Chennai Super Kings star batsman Suresh Raina said MS Dhoni did not show any signs of ageing and that he was hitting the big sixes at will, as usual during the training camp in Chennai. Laxmipathy Balaji, the bowling coach of Chennai Super Kings, also vouched for MS Dhoni’s return.

On the other hand, former wicketkeeper-batsman, Deep Dasgupta had said that MS Dhoni should have kept playing domestic cricket if he aspired a return to the Indian team. Kris Srikkanth also noted that if the IPL does not take place, Dhoni’s return looks impossible. Gautam Gambhir also had similar views to those of Srikkanth.
