The question now is who will play in the final eleven? Whether the wicket-keeper is KS Bharat or KL Rahul. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, Gavaskar said on Star Sports’ Cricket Live.
A former India coach recently discussed the same issue on a website. If we’re looking at wicketkeeper-batters, we should also look at Dhoni. He looks fit enough to play, the ESPNCricinfo news anchor joked with Ravi Shastri.
Oh yeah, Shastri replied. He’s shown a lot of young keepers in the country how to keep behind the stumps, how to move just for someone who doesn’t play first-class cricket to pitch up.

Nah, Shastri said when asked if Dhoni would seriously consider coming out of retirement if asked. MS makes his mind up, and he sticks to it. To leave Test cricket, where he could easily have played for a year or year and a half, he would have loved that 100 Test match mark, big crowd, nice ceremony, nice presentation, walk around the crowd, say good bye to everyone…he doesn’t want that. He’s like hands up, new man is there, let him be, he said.
