Dhoni doesn’t look match-fit, says Javed Miandad
He has been going through a rough patch and so is his team Chennai Super Kings.
Hyderabad: Ahead of the Indian Premier League in UAE, all eyes were on former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Having announced his retirement from international cricket, fans were eagerly waiting for IPL to see him in action.
However, he has been going through a rough patch and so is his team Chennai Super Kings. Now, they face a difficult proposition of qualifying for the playoffs. Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad felt that Dhoni had gained weight and was not fit to play matches.
“Your physical ability is inversely proportional to your age. As you grow older, your physical ability goes down and you must work harder on your fitness to get going at the highest level. Physically Dhoni is still very fit. I am talking about his match fitness. For a player of Dhoni’s age, it becomes even more difficult. To me, the problem areas are his timing and reflexes. If a player is not totally match-fit, his timing and reflexes get slower,” Miandad said.
