IPL 2018: Sourav Ganguly Hopes MS Dhoni Carries his IPL Form into International Cricket

Former Indian captain, Sourav Ganguly is hopeful that MS Dhoni translates his IPL form into International cricket.

Dhoni has looked at the top of his game in the ongoing season. Furthermore, it is noted the wicketkeeper-batsman is batting with more confidence.

MS is batting at the top of the order which is giving him a chance to face more deliveries. Hence, he is playing with more freedom.

Ganguly said he was a bit surprised with the exclusion of Rishabh Pant in the Indian squad.

The Prince of Kolkata further added it is great to note MS Dhoni has found his lost form back. Dhoni’s good form is like a shot in the arm for the Indian limited overs side.
