Every move of the king of cricket, MS Dhoni, remains in the headlines for the fans. After retiring from the IPL, people have started speculating that perhaps Dhoni will show his magic in South Africa 20 (SA20).
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not just an Indian cricketer but a global icon. He amazed the entire world with his charismatic leadership and exceptional game.
Dhoni has been instrumental behind these big wins – 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy.
It is said about Dhoni that he is not just a wicketkeeper or captain, but a complete strategy. His calm thinking, ability to remain unflinching under pressure and ability to take instant decisions on the field made him one of the greatest cricketers of all time.
Dhoni’s influence is not just limited to the field, but he has also inspired millions of youth towards the game.
Graeme Smith made a big statement about Dhoni to play in South Africa.
Graeme Smith made an interesting statement during the ‘SA20 India Day’ event in Mumbai recently. He jokingly said that Dhoni should play in the South African T20 league for a year after retiring from the IPL.
“I always tease Dhoni that he should retire so that we can play him in South Africa for a year.”
Moreover, Smith, the League Commissioner of South Africa 20, believes that the talent of Indian cricketers is very much liked in South Africa as well. “We are looking forward to seeing the Indian players in South African conditions and seeing their competitive nature.”
Smith’s statement is not just a personal choice but an impact of the growing cricketing ties between the two countries. He says India has been a very good friend of South Africa and India is an important market for SA20.
