Dhoni Warns Rivals: “Not to Jinx It, But India Look One of the Most Dangerous Teams This World Cup”

Cricket icon MS Dhoni has offered high praise for the India national cricket team, stating that they are “one of the most dangerous sides” heading into the upcoming World Cup—though he added his trademark caution, saying he didn’t want to “jinx” their form. Dhoni’s remarks reflect both admiration and measured optimism, shaped by India’s sharp performances across formats in recent months.

Speaking candidly, Dhoni highlighted India’s depth as a standout feature. The batting group, he noted, boasts a blend of explosive starters and stabilizing anchors, while the bowling unit has evolved into a multidimensional threat with pace, swing, and high-quality spin options. He also applauded the team’s improved temperament in pressure situations—an area that has cost them in past ICC events.

Dhoni credited the current leadership group for nurturing clarity and self-belief, traits he considers vital in tournament play. What impressed him most, he said, was India’s ability to adapt to varying conditions without sacrificing aggression or structure.

However, Dhoni tempered enthusiasm with realism, reminding fans that World Cups are unpredictable. “Momentum is key, but staying calm is everything,” he said.

With Dhoni’s endorsement and India’s form aligning, expectations—and excitement—continue to grow ahead of the global event.
