IPL is ideal stage for bowlers before WC: Dhoni

MS Dhoni has been there, done that. The 37-year-old had captained the Indian side to the 2007 World T20 and 2011 World Cup triumphs among various other significant wins.
With such vast experience of leading the side in big-ticket events, the former India captain will certainly be Virat Kohli’s strongest ally when the 2019 World Cup kicks off in England in May next year. While the World Cup is still five months away and India will have 13 ODIs to prepare themselves for the event, Dhoni on Friday prescribed how Kohli’s boys should approach the games mentally.
“What will be crucial for us is to play the World Cup like a bilateral event. We shouldn’t think of it as the World Cup,” Dhoni said during a Star Sports chat show on the sidelines of a book launch here on Friday evening.
