Sourav Ganguly has stated that MS Dhoni can provide his best performance in the 2019 World Cup, but warned that the ongoing series against the Windies would be critical for the wicket-keeper. Dhoni is struggling for form for a long time now and many experts are asking for his head.
Including these five-limited over matches against West Indies, India will play 18 odd matches ahead of the World Cup which is scheduled for the next year. Sourav Ganguly believes that if Dhoni plays good cricket against the Windies, he can get the confidence needed to be successful in the World Cup next year.Â
“I don’t know what combination they are thinking at. But I’m sure he (Dhoni) will do well in the World Cup. It’s (against West Indies) big series for him,” Ganguly said at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, reported PTI.
Recently in the Asia Cup, Dhoni batted four times, scoring 77 runs at an average of 19.25 and a strike rate of 62.09. In 2018, he batted ten times in 15 matches averaging 28.12 at a strike rate of 67.09.Â
“His overall record is very good. It all
All the ten selected teams will play four qualifying matches to enter the semi-finals in the event starting with England vs South Africa at the Oval on May 30.Â
“India are a good ODI side. This World Cup will be worth watching. All teams play all and the best four go. It will be a competitive one,” Ganguly said.
