Guwahati, June 28, 2019:
India captain Virat Kohli on Thursday describes under-fire wicketkeeper Mahindra Singh Dhoni as a legend of the game whose keen understanding and experience has held the team in good stead.
Defeating the West Indies Cricket team with 125 runs in the yesterday’s match, Virat said, “Dhoni knows exactly what he wants to do in the middle. When he has an off day here and there, everyone starts talking. We always back him. He has won us many games. The best thing about having someone like him is when you need those 15-20 runs, he knows exactly how to get them. His experience, 8 out of 10 times has come good for us.”

The captain also mentioned that the team has quite a few players who play instinctive cricket and follow their game plans. “He’s such a keen understanding of the game. Always sends us feedback, that you know 260 is a good score. He’s a legend of the game. We all know that. Just hope he can continue,” he added.
It may be mentioned that Dhoni had faced a lot of criticism for his failure to score good and rotate the strike during India’s previous match against Afghanistan. However, this match has come with some good luck to Mahi.
Virat Kohli also mentioned, “These haven’t been massive scoring games. But we’ve found ways of winning. Intensity has been the standout thing for me. Mindset really matters. Nothing is impossible. We feel we can win from any situation.”
India scored a total of 268/7 against West Indies.
