He's still the best wicket-keeper in the IPL: Michael Clarke on MS Dhoni
Former Australia captain Michael Clarke recently put his weight behind MS Dhoni. He hit back at the critics who questioned the legendary player's decision to bat lower down the order in the CSK line-up and opined it was time for other players in the team to take responsibility.
"He's such a good player and he's still making runs so everybody thinks bat him high which I can understand but when does the stage come when other players take responsibility. Is he still playing when he's 50? His role now in the team isn't just about batting as high as he can, being the captain, and being the best wicket-keeper. He's at the backend of his career now. Other players need to take responsibility," Clarke said on Backstage with Boria.
He continued:
"I think as a player in a team every game is important to win. If its best for the team that MS goes at 6 then bat at number 6. If he bats at 9 the next, bat him at 9. I am all about winning, don't get me wrong. He's not just given a spot because he's MS Dhoni. He's still the best wicket-keeper in the IPL. The number where he bats is irrelevant to me. We need to understand where Dhoni is at now. He's earned the right."
