T20 World Cup: MS Dhoni Labels Suryakumar Yadav's India 'Most Dangerous', Gives Crucial Advice And Warning

T20 World Cup: The 2007 T20 World Cup-winning captain MS Dhoni has lauded Suryakumar Yadav's India team as "one of the most dangerous teams" in the upcoming marquee tournament, while also pointing out the factors the Men in Blue need to be cautious about.

Speaking at a public event, the legendary captain said that India's experience, role clarity, and the ability to handle pressure have made them a formidable force in the T20 format.

“It’s one of the most dangerous teams. You know, they would have already started batting or bowling. But what all is needed in a good team? Everything is there," Dhoni said.

“They have the experience. Especially when it comes to this format, the experience is vast. They have played under pressure. Whoever is playing whatever roles they are playing in the team, they have been in that situation for a considerable period of time,” he added.

Dhoni has also warned that dew could be a significant factor, making the toss crucial and potentially affecting the outcome of matches.

“What worries me? Again, I hate dew. Dew changes a lot of things. So, even when I was playing, something that really scared me was dew. Where the toss becomes crucial and all of that,” Dhoni said.

“If we are playing 10 matches with some of the best teams, we will come out as winners more often than not, if the conditions remain neutral,” he noted.

Dhoni emphasised the need for sides to be prepared for unexpected twists, highlighting the intrinsic unpredictability of T20 cricket, the shortest format of cricket, where "anything can happen on any given day."

“The problem is when some of your players have a day off and somebody from the opposition has a brilliant day. And it can happen in T20 cricket,” he said.

“Whether it happens in a league stage, whether it happens in the knockout stage, that's where all the prayers are needed. Nobody should get injured. Whatever roles are given, people should accomplish their roles for the team. And if that's the case, I don't want to jinx it by saying anything but it's one of the most dangerous teams," Dhoni concluded.
