MS Dhoni has always given special attention to levels of fitness and fielding. During his tenure as captain, Dhoni made some hard calls to boost the Indian ODI team’s fielding quality. 

And during his last days at international cricket, he maintained certain fitness levels.

Proof of that was the video of him defeating a much younger Hardik Pandya in a sprint And Dhoni’s ability to wicket-keep is Everybody knows something about it as it is considered one of the best of all time.

Mohammad Kaif Twitted.

Former India batsman Mohammad Kaif considered one of the best fielders ever India had, has said that if he wanted to be, Dhoni might have been a good fielder. 

He posted a video of himself and Dhoni performing a runout against South Africa with success. 

In the runout, however, the situation is reversed as Dhoni is the one who throws the ball, and Kaif clips the bails.

“I guess MSD would have made a good fielder no matter where he stood on the field…And maybe, I wouldn’t have been a bad wicketkeeper either ;)” Kaif on Twitter.

Kaif is now Delhi Capitals’ assistant coach and will face the captain of Chennai Super Kings Dhoni in the upcoming IPL 2020 in the UAE.

The former all-rounder of the Indian team Irfan Pathan expressed surprise at the latest training schedule of MS Dhoni in the UAE before the IPL. 

Those who know the training routine of Dhoni knows that the former Indian captain never practices wicketkeeping in the nets, but this time around he has made an exception.

On Monday, Chennai Super Kings posted a video in which Dhoni was seen holding wickets as part of his training exercise and the reason behind it, Pathan thinks, maybe due to his absence from cricket in more than a year.

“We had a new sight where we saw MS Dhoni holding the wickets. This never happens, this is something new to me because I’ve been playing cricket with MSD for so many years, whether it’s for the CSK in IPL or the Indian team, I’ve not seen him wicket keeping, “Pathan said Star Sports.
