India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni believes the second edition of the Indian Premier League will be the perfect build-up before his team travels to England to defend their World Twenty20 title in June.
Incidentally, the two Twenty20 Internationals against New Zealand here are India's last opportunity to play as a team before the extravaganza but Dhoni believes IPL would be the right platform to prepare for the mega event.
"Every game is important. These are two Twenty20 international games. But I think it will be important to focus on the IPL more," said Dhoni, who led India to triumph in the 2007 Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa. "It (IPL) would not only help us but will help other players also who are part of IPL, which is a big tournament. Right now these two matches against New Zealand are too far away to contribute to the Twenty20 World Cup scenario," said Dhoni.
