Sourav Ganguly has expressed doubts over MS Dhoni's Twenty20 batting abilities after the latter’s string of poor scores in the ongoing IPL. The former India skipper believes Dhoni is out and out exceptional in the 50-over format but needs to pull up his socks in T20 cricket.

After being sacked as skipper by Rising Pune Supergiant, Dhoni has failed to inspire any confidence with the bat, having scored only 12 not out, 5 and 11 in three matches.

"I am not too sure if Dhoni is a good T20 player. He is a champion ODI player but when it comes to T20 cricket, in 10 years, he has got one fifty and that's not the best record," Ganguly told India Today.

"I will pick Dhoni for the Champions Trophy but he has to score runs," Ganguly said of the ICC event to be staged in England in June.

Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke has also said that Dhoni needs to score runs for himself as a professional. "Dhoni has to score runs for himself. As a professional, he has to," Clarke said.
