Virat-led team India is all set to take on Windies in the T20I series-decider on Wednesday. Earlier, coach Ravi Shastri had told IANS in an interview that IPL 2020 will go a long way in deciding if Dhoni will play T20I World Cup in Australia. "It all depends on when he starts playing and how he is playing during the IPL. What are the other people doing with the wicket-keeping gloves or what is the form of those players as opposed to Dhoni's form. The IPL becomes a massive tournament because that could be the last tournament after which more or less your 15 is decided. "There might be one player who might be there and thereabouts in case of an injury or whatever. But your team I would say would be known after the IPL. What I would say is rather than speculating of who is where, wait for the IPL to get over and then you are in a position to take a call on who are the best 17 in the country," he had said.
