India team head coach Ravi Shastri on Tuesday said MS Dhoni will be a "big player" in the upcoming ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, beginning May 30 in England and Wales. "He (Dhoni) has a massive role. As a wicket-keeper, he has shown over the years that there is no one better than him in this format, especially in those little moments which can change the game. Not just taking those catches, but also inflicting those run outs and stumpings," Shastri said at a press conference here, a day before the team leaves for the marquee event.

"His communication with Virat (Kohli) has been fantastic. It was great to see the way he was moving in this Indian Premier League (IPL), especially when he was batting. The footwork and the power with which he was hitting the shots, he will be a big player in this World Cup," the head coach added.
