The way Mahendra Singh Dhoni has performed in the WoT20, he can extend his career as India skipper, says former Australia captain Ian Chappell.
"Well! I think he was in form in T20. It means as a player and as a captain. He captained pretty well in the T20. We don't have him as a Test captain but we want him and I think he was too good in World T20," Chappell said on ESPNcricinfo programme 'Match Day'.
"I think they would be quite happy about that. Anything above 190 or more than 8 an over, you feel you can win. There are not more games you lose."
The Australian batting great was critical of left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja's performance at the Wankhede Stadium.
"He seems to control the delivery when there is help. When there is no help, he loses control."
The 72-year-old felt the Windies were not great on the field in the semifinal but made up for that with their ability to produce big shots.
"You think about the things West Indies do. They are not great runners between the wickets. They were not very good in the field today. Without these you cannot make up except hitting those sixes and fours."
Fleming hails msD's fitness
The coach of new IPl team Pune Supergiants Stephen Fleming today made light of the speculations over retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni from international cricket and hailed his "remarkable" fitness.
Asked about Dhoni's future in the context of India's loss yesterday in the World Twenty20 semi-final, Fleming said what he saw in him was a "sprightly wicketkeeper batsman, a fresh captain with a remarkable fitness".
In reply to a question, Fleming, interacting with reporters about Pune Supergiants for the forthcoming IPl season, did not visualise any possible "conflict of egos" in the team that also has Australian captain Steve Smith and South African skipper Fa du Plessis.
"leadership can take many forms. M S Dhoni is an inspiring captain who is open to ideas," he added.
