Mohinder Amarnath has the same opinion as Sunil Gavaskar about MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a name that has won everyone’s heart, not only in the cricketing world but also outside it. MS Dhoni Biography tells the story of Ranchi born cricketer. Recently, the 37-year old was dropped from T20I against West Indies and Australia.


MS Dhoni retired from test series long back and now he is a certainty only in ODI cricket. Instead of having time, Mahi did not play the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018 and now will face Australia National Cricket Team in the three-match ODI series without any match practice.


As per the trending cricket news, Former Indian all-rounder and selector Mohinder Amarnath think that MS Dhoni and other senior players must play domestic cricket to be eligible for selection.

Mohinder Amarnath said that every individual is different but one thing that he has always believed in is that if you want to play for India you have to play for your state as well. He thinks that the BCCI should change this policy altogether.


Amarnath told that a lot of senior players don’t play domestic cricket. In fact, Sunil Gavaskar had suggested the same in past. Other than Dhoni, another senior player Shikhar Dhawan who has been dropped from India’s test squad is not playing the ongoing Ranji Trophy.


Amarnath said that The BCCI should make it as an eligibility criterion. He said, “Not only a number of games, you should be playing regularly for your state if you are not playing for India and not only just before the India selection.”


He said that then only a selector can judge how good the guy is playing. Whatever a player has achieved is all in the past and what is important is his current form.


The former selector said that even if a player is playing one format than he should be playing all formats at least in domestic cricket to be considered for selection.

Michael Vaughan has not seen a better player than Virat Kohli

India’s tour of Australia started with its four-match test series from December 6 and India National Cricket Team took lead 1-0 in the test series after the first test.

Team India’s captain Virat Kohli became the second fastest player to score 25 Test centuries on the Day 3 of India vs Australia second test at Perth. He achieved the feat in 127 innings and is after Sir Donald Bradman who took 68 innings to achieve 25 test centuries.

Virat Kohli left Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar behind who took 130 innings to achieve the feat. Virat Kohli with his sixth Test century in Australia equaled Sachin Tendulkar's record of most Test centuries by an Indian Down Under.

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan believes that Virat Kohli is a better batsman across three formats as compared to the legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, and Ricky Ponting.

Michael Vaughan said that he has not seen a better player than Virat and told that he is not disrespecting Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara or Ricky Ponting but across all the three formats of the game, he has not seen anyone better than Kohli.

Michael Vaughan said, “He (Virat) has such high skill levels and an incredible mentality when it comes to dealing with the pressure of the chase. All that while dealing with a weight of expectation and adulation that only Sachin would have experienced.”

He also said, “The concern for Australia is that so far in this Test match the Indians have managed to get more uneven bounce out of the pitch than the home bowlers. The quicks seem to be getting out-bowled by this highly skilled Indian four-man attack,”.

Australian great Allan Border also praised Kohli and said, “I think by the time Kohli finishes he (could) statistically be equal or better than all those players,”.

Allan Border thinks that Kohli could surpass the likes Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, and Sachin Tendulkar in the record books. However, Virat has already scored 62 international centuries.
