Pakistan former captain Zaheer Abbas said that Ms Dhoni will be India’s trump card in the Cricket World Cup 2019.
In 2007, India won the T20 Cricket World Cup under the captaincy of Ms Dhoni.
he followed that success to the World Cup 2011 held in India,
where the home team came out victorious against Sri Lanka in the final match in Mumbai.
Zaheer Abbas said that his skills will be a key factor for team India to win the World Cup.
Zaheer Abbas said “India has a genius named Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the team the former Indian captain.
He is the brain of all sorts of cricket in the team.
He understands the game well and has experience of leading team India in two WC wins.
His experience will be key point for captain Kohli and coaches and he can be their trump card in this years World Cup in England”
Abbas also thinks that pitches of England will suit Indian batsman where 350 to 400 is a possibility.
“We have seen that in the recently-concluded Pakistan–England series, that over 300 runs were scored and chased.
Now in World Cup, 450 runs could be a possibility as there is no grass on the wickets.
Bowlers will get little help from the conditions so India will benefit as they have one of the strongest batting line ups.
English wickets are now batsmen’s paradise” added Zaheer Abbas.
There have been many talks about who will bat in the number 4 slot but Abbas think that we might see any changes in the top order.
He said “It is purely captain’s decision but my view is that top four batting order shouldn’t be changed frequently. You can make changes in the lower middle order but not at the top”
Apart from India Zaheer Abbas thinks England, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan are the top teams for the semi-finals.
