With Indian Premier League set to washout for 2020 due to coronavirus outbreak, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's childhood coach is hopeful that he may get a chance to play to Team India in the T20 World Cup.

The world is dealing with coronavirus outbreak these days and experts believe that only way to come out of the situation is maintaining social distancing and staying inside the home for a maximum time. India has imposed a complete lockdown for 21 days till April 14 to break the chain of spreading Covid-19 virus in the nation.

With maximum cricketing events either cancelled or postponed indefinitely, BCCI shared an old picture of former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni with the cricket fans on social media. Sharing the picture, they captioned: 'Smile is the way to be'.

Amid coronavirus scare across the world, the New Zealand team has gone into self-isolation for 14 days after finishing their Australia tour.

Only a few days are left when we all will see Mahendra Singh Dhoni returning to the cricket field with his captaincy cap on his head for Chennai Super Kings.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli has accepted that his team was completely outplayed by the New Zealand in the opening Test and claimed that he can not do anything if some people want to make 10-wicket defeat a big deal.

Sachin Tendulkar was referred to as God of Cricket and his retirement had left many of his fans in shock. He had said Good Bye to international cricket in 2013 but played an exhibition match in 2014.

A day before India starts their ODI series against the New Zealand, skipper Virat Kohli paid a rich tribute to Basketball legend Kobe Bryant, who recently lost his life in a helicopter accident. The Indian skipper remembered how he used to wake up in the morning to watch NBA matches. Kohli said the Kobe Bryant's death was "was heartbreaking" and "a shock for everyone".

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has not been on the grounds for Team India for almost an year now, and with BCCI not renewing his contract this year, the worry turned deep for his fans. While there is a relief that he will be seen playing in the upcoming IPL season for Chennai Super Kings and Indian coach Ravi Shashtri has said that his return will be based upon his performance in the IPL.

After registering a good win over New Zeland in the first T20I, India would be looking to go up to 2-0 during the second fixture to held at Eden Park on Sunday. It is unlikely to see any changes in the playing eleven of Team India for today's contest.
