Former chief selector for India Kiran More has said that team India's ageing cricketing hero - MS Dhoni - was raring and fit to lead his side CSK in the IPL 2020, even though he had not been part of any form of competitive cricket since India's heartbreaking exit from the 2019 World Cup. IPL 2020 will be a "major" deciding factor of MS Dhoni's comeback - his chances to play the mega ICC tournament in October but the rising cases of fast-spreading COVID-19 in India and all across the globe have put the fate of IPL 2020 hanging in the balance. "It's very difficult, it's his call," More, who is also former wicket-keeper for India, told Sportskeeda. "It's going to be tough, not going to be easy. Mind says you want to, but the body does not allow. "Before IPL, he was fit, I saw him in the nets, he was raring to go. In tennis, guys of 34, 39 are on top of their game. "Now if you are disciplined, if you keep your mind and body strong you can make a comeback. Ashish Nehra made a comeback and did very well," he added. Speaking to IANS, a BCCI official said that while the general thought is that having the league in India will mean that the country has come out of the clutches of the coronavirus pandemic, there are a few who feel that if the situation demands, the league can be taken to places outside India.
