MS Dhoni’s fate might be decided during Champions Trophy, former Indian captain’s childhood coach Banerjee said at the launch of an under-14 cricket tournament.
“At the moment, his sole focus is on the Champions Trophy. If he’s successful there, I think he would go on till the World Cup 2019,” Banerjee said.
“It’s natural that with age, you would not hit the same strike rate. But his will power and game-analysing sense are the two qualities that make him special.”
Dhoni surprised everyone by quiting from limited overs captaincy in January.
“He never liked to be pushed so he called it quits before any one could point fingers at him in the Tests format,” Banerjee said. “He never kept anyone in the loop, even his best friend or parents did not know when he quit Tests.”
