MS Dhoni's decision to relinquish India's captaincy has given rise to speculations about his cricketing future. While many believe that 2017 Champions Trophy in England is going to be his swansong, others are of the opinion that the most successful skipper of the country is fit enough to ply his trade as a wicket-keeper batsman till the 2019 World Cup.
But what does the man in question think?
In a recent promotional event in New Delhi, Dhoni was asked about the certainty of him playing the 2019 World Cup. He kept his cards close to his chest but gave a slight hint of playing on till the mega event.
“There’s is nothing called 100 per cent. The reason being, two years is a long time. A lot can change in two years, especially seeing India Cricket Team’s schedule, it is a very tough schedule. Uske baad aap thode vintage car ban jate hai (After that you become a Vintage car). A lot of caring is needed.”
“Looking at everything how it is going through, definitely. But as I said, a lot can happen in two years. Yes, the way I am today, I can easily go beyond the 2019 World Cup,” Dhoni added.
As things stand, Dhoni seems very confident about playing the 2019 World Cup and though he is on the wrong side of 30, his fitness regime does allow him to bear the rigours of international cricket.
