Former Indian captain Kapil Dev spoke about how it will be difficult for MS Dhoni to perform if he is playing only in IPL.
“If Dhoni decides on playing only IPL every year, then it’s impossible for him to perform. It’s not a good thing to talk about age but at his age, the more he plays, the more his body will be tuned,” Kapil told ‘ABP News’.
“If you don’t play any cricket for ten months a year and suddenly play IPL, you can see what happened. You can always have a season up or down if you have played so much cricket. It has happened to someone like Chris Gayle also,” he added.
Kapil Dev said that Dhoni must go back to the first-class cricket and begin from there. He also added that it is a challenge for someone as huge as Dhoni to see a dip in form.
“He should go back to first-class cricket (domestic List A and T20) and play there. If someone has achieved so much, the dip in form does affect and it becomes a challenge. Let’s see how he comes out of it,” Kapil said.
