It is said that T20 cricket is a format of young players, but in this season there are many such examples, which show that age is just a number. Super seniors like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Faf du Plessis, Shikhar Dhawan are performing power packed performance in this fast cricket on the strength of fitness.
