Dhoni Calls India One of the Most Dangerous Teams at the T20 World Cup

Dhoni Calls India One of the Most Dangerous Teams at the T20 World Cup

The legendary former captain of India, MS Dhoni, believes India is the most formidable side in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026. His thoughts have a lot of weight because India are playing the tournament at home, where they have always delivered strong performances against various oppositions.

"What all is needed in a good team, everything is there. They have the experience, especially when it comes to this format, the experience is vast. They have played under pressure. Whoever is playing whatever roles they are playing in the team, they have been in that situation for a considerable period of time." said former captain of India, MS Dhoni.

He then said that dew is one of those factors that can change the equation for India. The former captain recalled his own playing days, saying he was always wary of dew because it makes the toss extremely crucial.

"What worries me, again, I hate dew. Dew changes a lot of things. Even when I was playing, something that really scared me was dew, where the toss becomes crucial and all of that." said MS Dhoni.

Dhoni then praised the form of the Indian team, saying that the side has the potential to defeat various oppositions consistently.

"If we are playing ten matches against some of the best teams, we will come out as winners more often than not, if the conditions are neutral and all of that.” said MS Dhoni.

"The problem is when some of your players have a day off and somebody from the opposition has a brilliant day, and it can happen in T20 cricket. So that's the time, whether in the league stage or the knockout stage, that's where all the praying is needed. You know, nobody should get injured. Whatever roles are given, people should accomplish their roles for the team. And if that's the case, I don't want to jinx it, but it's one of the most dangerous teams." concluded MS Dhoni
