Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will captain India in Twenty20 world cup. This is the first world cup in Twenty20 format of cricket. Dhoni is also the wicket keeper and a hard hitter batsman of Indian team. So, naturally it was thought that Dhoni would be under huge pressure. However, Dhoni recently said that he would not feel any pressure. He also said that the four month long recent tour in England and Ireland would not create any problem. Rather, it would be a fresh tournament. India will play their first match in Twenty20 world cup against Scotland on 13 September.
Reuters reported:
"I don't think fatigue will have any impact on the team. The England tour was very tiring and exhausting but this is a World Cup and that brings excitement, freshness and confidence to the team," Dhoni told reporters on Monday.
Dhoni said he would not feel under extra pressure when he leads India for the first time in the inaugural 20-over world championship, which starts on Tuesday.
India vs Scotland match will be the second ever Twenty20 match of India. So, you can realize that India is not experienced in Twenty20 cricket. Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag are expected to help India with their big hits. It is good that Dhoni is not feeling any pressure ahead of this important tournament. So, Dhoni can lead India with a cool mind.
