Michael Hussey’s update on MS Dhoni’s future
Speaking to the 'Around the Wicket Podcast', Michael Hussey had a lot to say about the IPL future of MS Dhoni. The former Australian star said Dhoni has kept his decisions close to his chest and is yet to reveal anything.
“Your guess is as good as mine at this stage. He keeps his cards very, very close to his chest. We are hoping he does keep going. He is still batting so well. He does prepare well - he gets into the camp very early and hits a lot of balls.”
The former CSK star also said “He has been in good touch all season really. I guess we just got to try to manage him from the body side of things. He had a knee surgery after the last season. So he has been managing that from the initial stage of the tournament”
Giving his own perspective, Hussey said “From a personal point of view, I hope he keeps going for another couple of years. But we will just have to wait and see. He is the only one who will make that call. And he likes to sort of build the drama a little bit as well. So I wouldn't expect a decision anytime soon”
The highlight of the season for many fans was the way Dhoni has batted giving fans a trip into the memory lane. So far MS Dhoni has played 13 matches this year and scored 136 runs with an average of 68 and a strike rate of 226 with 11 fours and 12 sixes.
