India's chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav has admitted that the presence of MS Dhoni in the upcoming T20 World Cup could make a difference for the team. He believes Dhoni is fit enough to be back in the side.

In a chat with Sportskeeda, the spinner said, “I am of course missing MS Dhoni. Whenever you play with a senior player, you become fond of them and start missing them and their presence.

“As far as his retirement is concerned, it is MS Dhoni’s decision and it should be left to him. There is no point for us to debate on that. He is very fit and I personally feel he should play for India. As a fan, I absolutely love him. If he plays, it would be easier for us [India].”

Indian Premier League (IPL) couldn't take place as per schedule because of pandemic and that has affected chances of Dhoni's return.

The comeback of 38-year-old still not confirmed considering India has found a performing wicket-keeper batsman in limited-overs cricket. KL Rahul is doing the job well.

Kuldeep also acknowledged the help of former Australia great Shane Warne in his career. “Shane Warne is the greatest spinner I have ever seen. He has had a huge role to play in my career also. I learned a lot from him and tried to inculcate all his qualities. I thought even if I manage to emulate him by 50 percent, I would have achieved a lot. And, he is undisputedly my No.1 spinner of all time,” he said.

Yadav has conceded over 6-run per over in all four ODIs he played in 2020. Unfortunately, he hasn't got many wickets by his name too, just five. In the three-match ODI series against Australia, he could only pick three wickets at home.
