Shetty feels Dhoni can complete the playing XI of team India.
Veteran Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty expressed his opinion on whether the former India captain MS Dhoni could still make a comeback to the Indian team or not. He is not only a passionate follower of cricket, but Shetty has also played the game.
Talking to former India cricketer, currently a commentator Aakash Chopra, Suniel picked his playing XI for the upcoming T20 World Cup. He added Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul for the opening spot in his team.

India skipper Virat Kohli came at number 3, followed by Shreyas Iyer at 4. Iyer has done a decent job at the given batting position till now.
Shetty believes Dhoni is better suited to play the World Cup and he doesn't want to engage in the debate of Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant. "Between Pant and Samson, I see MS Dhoni and only MS Dhoni for the World Cup. I feel he is getting fit out there and he will be back in a very very big way. Players from across the world feel that if Dhoni is there, it's a strong team. Dhoni will play, he will score in the IPL," he said.
Backing the two youngsters, Pant and Samson, Suniel added they are very talented.
"Pant and Samson are very talented. Samson hasn't got his chances. Pant is supremely talented but he needs to lose 4-5 kg of weight. It's a positive thing I mean to say, but as far as wellness and fitness goes, there's a difference in movement," the actor said.
