It is worth noting that earlier Dhoni, who is called the finishing master, joined Team India as a mentor during the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. At this time, the captain of Team India was Virat Kohli and the head coach was Ravi Shastri. However, this T20 World Cup was no less than a nightmare for Team India.
The Indian team was knocked out in the tournament and also had to face defeat by 10 wickets against arch-rival Pakistan in World Cup history. This was the first time when Pakistan defeated India in the ICC World Cup. Before this, the Indian team had always defeated Pakistan in ICC matches.
Will Dhoni accept the role of mentor?
If we believe the recent media reports of Cricblogger, a senior BCCI source has confirmed that he has been offered the role of mentor, because no one can guide the Indian team in the T20 format better than him.
It is worth noting that MS Dhoni is not only one of the best captains of India but also of the world, whose match strategy is loved by the world. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, India won all the three ICC formats (T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy and World Cup) trophies. Dhoni is one of the most successful captains of India. He has also made Chennai Super Kings champion five times in IPL.
However, now it will be interesting to see whether Dhoni will accept this offer of BCCI or not?
