Sri Lanka great Lasith Malinga believes MS Dhoni should continue playing cricket and pass on his experience to the younger generation. Sri Lanka face India in their final group-stage match on Saturday.
Sri Lanka fast bowler Lasith Malinga on said India wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni should play for another one or two years to enable him to pass on his experience to young players.
Considered as India's best finisher, Dhoni has been facing severe criticism for his baffling batting approach against England in the World Cup match on June 30.

Malinga think MS (Dhoni) should play for another one or two years. He is the best finisher in the last 10 years. I don't think anyone can beat him in future. He has to give his experience and situation handling to all the young players. They (India) have good experience in past captain MS Dhoni. I think that's why they are a successful team.

Malinga said the India skipper does not have to do much as India have got good players.
"I think Virat has a good luxury. They (India) have good players, they showed their character in the IPL tournament. They know exactly their ownership in the team, every single player then Virat doesn't have to do much," Malinga said.

When quipped about India pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami's performance in the World Cup, Sri Lanka fast bowler said both Bumrah and Shami are accurate bowlers and know how to handle the pressure. Malinga also credited spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav to India's success in the ongoing tournament.
