World Cup 2019: Dhoni should play for another one or two years, reckons Lasith Malinga

Malinga stated that Dhoni should play for another one or two years to enable him to pass on his experience to young players

Considered as India's best finisher, Dhoni has been facing severe criticism for his baffling batting approach against England in the World Cup match on June 30. Malinga, however, feels nobody can beat the India wicket-keeper batsman. The veteran Lankan pacer on Thursday said India wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni should play for another one or two years to enable him to pass on his experience to young players. “I think MS (Dhoni) should play for another one or two years. He is the best finisher in the last 10 years. I don't think anyone can beat him in future. He has to give his experience and situation handling to all the young players. They (India) have good experience in past. I think that's why they are a successful team. I think they are good enough to beat any team in this competition,” Malinga told ANI. India secured its World Cup semi-finals berth after beating Bangladesh on earlier this week. When asked what does he think about Virat Kohli's captaincy, Malinga said the India skipper does not have to do much as India have got good players. “I think Virat has a good luxury. They (India) have good players, they showed their character in the IPL tournament. They know exactly their ownership in the team, every single player then Virat doesn't have to do much,” Malinga said. When asked about his future plans, Malinga said he will have a word with Sri Lanka cricket board and accordingly decide. “I want to go to Sri Lanka and meet the Sri Lanka cricket board and ask what they are expecting from me next month or next year. Then according to that, I want to get my decision as soon as possible,” he said. India will take on Sri Lanka on July 6 at Headingley in Leeds.
