‘Dhoni’s comeback will make team stronger’

Legendary Pakistan batsman Zaheer Abbas feels that Virat Kohli is destined for greatness.

“Virat Kohli is one batsman who will break all the records in international cricket. The transition phase in Indian batting has already happened as they now have a set line-up.

“Pakistan also have talented bunch of batsmen. But we are in the process of rebuilding,” Abbas told a gathering of Indian journalists on Sunday in Fatullah.

“Ahmed Shehzad is a talented batsman and will mature into a good player in the coming days,” Abbas said.

Asked about the India versus Pakistan clash on March 21, Abbas agreed that skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s comeback from injury certainly will make the team a stronger unit.

“During Asia Cup, Dhoni was not there and now he is back. So that will definitely make India stronger but we did beat a good Indian side. A lot of people thought that the Pakistan is not good chasers but during the Asia Cup, the boys showed what they are capable of. We have had two good run chases (India and Bangladesh),” he said.
