At 34, Why Cricketer Dhoni Bothering To Lead Youngsters To Zimbabwe Instead Of Getting Some Rest?

By RAMAN KAPOOR | INNLIVE

In a relatively low-profile tour, perhaps India's limited overs captain has taken it upon himself to mentor a young, inexperienced team.

As the Indian cricket team lands in Zimbabwe to take part in a relatively low-profile One-Day International and Twenty20 series, looking to win goodwill and not just the games, its members are not your usual suspects.

For one thing, as has already been pointed out, the 16-member squad is hugely inexperienced – five of them are uncapped at the international level, while the combined experience of 15 members of the team (83 ODIs and 28 T20Is) is just a third of the entire match experience of the person who will be leading them, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
