World Cup 2019: Dhoni puts opposition under pressure, says McCullum

All eyes will be on Team India and on former captain MS Dhoni who is probably featuring in his last World Cup.

Ten of the strongest one day international teams shall be competing against each other in a round robin and knockout format across 48 matches with one goal of lifting the coveted World Cup trophy and bring back laurels to their nations. All eyes will be on Team India and on former captain MS Dhoni who is probably featuring in his last World Cup. Speaking on Star Sports new show 'FAB 15', former New Zealand cricketer Brendon McCullum said: "He is invaluable to the Indian team, he has a blueprint in his mind along with an approach to the game. He always puts the opposition under pressure when he arrives at the crease and reads the game perfectly. His fitness has been great, and he has been striking the ball beautifully in the recent past." On MSD's recent form as a wicketkeeper and batsman, former England batsman Kevin Pietersen said: "His calmness gives him the ability to judge what's in front of him, it doesn't matter what situation it is, he is just one of those guys who you know would hold onto the ball when thrown at him." "The best thing about IPL this year was the rebirth of MSD's batting, he took out all the bowling attacks in front of him," he added.
