Kapil Dev throws his weight behind MS Dhoni

Hyderabad: India’s 1983 cricket World Cup winning captain has come out in defence of the one who emulated his feat in 2011 but has been facing a lot of flak of late for his inability to finish games. Legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev feels there is no better choice than Mahendra Singh Dhoni at the moment. So leave these things to the selectors,” Kapil said while interacting with mediapersons here ahead of the Eagles Golf Championship at the Hyderabad Golf Club on Saturday. “A moment comes when a player has to hang his boots, even Dhoni will have to, but currently he is doing a good job for the side,” Kapil added while defending Mahi’s place in the Indian team. “Our team will be good enough on the African tour and will hopefully fight it out,” said the veteran while supporting Kohli’s side for the South African series which is set to commence from January 5 in 2018.
