Kapil Dev added that as a fan of Dhoni it is exciting to see him on the field again. However, the fact that he has not played for a year should be considered by the management.
”He should play more matches to be on the team. There shouldn’t be different parameters for different players. He is on his last leg. I am his fan so I would love to see him but in IPL I am looking for the next generation.”
