MIRPUR: Hailing his team’s brilliant show in the ongoing Asia Cup, Team India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that the current T20 squad has got the pedigree to take on any team anywhere in the world.
After crushing UAE by nine wickets in Asia Cup last night, Dhoni said, “Well if you see, more often than not, the team that we have played with (this year in T20s), looks like a team that can play in any condition, especially in this format. Lets not talk about the 50-over format. But in T20s, we can play with this team anywhere in the world.”
“We now have three proper seamers, two spinners and if needed part-timers. I think it is the right combination. And even if you go for a few extra runs, with the batting that we have – till No 8, I think we can look to get those extra runs if the opposition scores off us.
So, I think this team is set to play in any conditions, whether you are playing in India or outside India. It looks like a very balanced team.”
Replying to a often asked query on his retirement plans, Dhoni said, “Im not getting rid of myself so soon. Bangladesh will have to face me more often than not. This is one occasion when the question was longer than the answer.” (AGENCIES)
