Former India captain and IPL side Chennai Super Kings stalwart Mahendra Singh Dhoni has stressed that district cricket is the most important things for budding cricketers, which opens the door for them to play state-level cricket and then pitchforks them into national limelight, adding that no player can reach the top level without going through this process.
"Initially when I started playing cricket, the want, or the will was to score in that tournament. Why? Because, you could represent your district. Why do you want to represent your district? So that when you play an inter-district tournament and you do well, and you are called for the selection trials for the state," said the skipper of one of the most successful IPL teams, which has bagged four titles --one less that Mumbai Indians.
