Ravi Shastri feels MS Dhoni at 36 can beat players aged 26 !!!

Fitness is the most important aspect of any sport. In the case of cricket, it has become one of the major criteria for selection into the national squad. A player has to pass a certain number of tests to be eligible for selection. This makes it necessary for him to maintain high fitness levels even during off seasons. With the introduction of yo-yo tests, basic parameters have been set without which a player will not be eligible for selection in Team India. It is surprising to see that younger players are finding it difficult to clear the tests while stalwarts like MS Dhoni has aced it.

 

 

Ravi Shastri, head coach of the Indian team has backed Mahendra Singh Dhoni at all times. He believes that people have no right to question Dhoni’s ability to perform at the highest level. He brings calmness and tons of experience into the side and that has no parallels. Often, he is the lone warrior battling it out for his team in the middle. While Dhoni’s role has been questioned several times by the critics, he has silenced them with his performances against Sri Lanka in the ODI series.

 

Dhoni can beat 26-year olds

Speaking to IndiaToday, Shastri said: “We are not stupid. I have been watching this sport for the last 30-40 years. Virat has been a part of this team for a decade now. We know, at this age, he (Dhoni) can beat players aged 26. People who talk, forget that they played the game.”

 

“If they look at themselves in the mirror and ask the question, ‘what they were at the age of 36?’. Would they have run two runs faster? But the time they finish two, this guy will run three. Then he has won only two World Cups and averages only 51. Till today you don’t have a wicket-keeper to replace him in the one-day team.” Shastri added.

Is he talking leg byes. Last I saw dhonis bat was getting nowhere near the ball.

At this rate, he will be the first one to get booted out between the two.

Can we keep one MS Dhoni thread and put all these links there?

[wanted_desi]

Bewda forgets that he is a coach of Indian Cricket team, not track and field.

[Nonbeliever]

Is he a personal assistant of dhoni.  In his quest to glorify dhoni he is ridiculing youngsters.

[Jimmy Cliff]

The cheerleader doth protest too much.

[jalebi_bhai]

Dhoni can carry on till mid-40s. He should even return in Test matches and lead the team he built. Kohli is just glory hunting with Dhoni's team.

[coffee_rules]

Cat is out of the bag. Dhoni is a gunda beating and terrorising bachchas in the team.

[The Dark Horse]

Point to ponder...Is Shastri afraid that if Dhoni retires, he'll be a threat to his job?
