Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket?

Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.
