Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is once again planning to connect Mahendra Singh Dhoni with Team India. According to media reports, the board can appoint Dhoni as a mentor of the team for the 2026 T20 World Cup. If this happens, Dhoni will again be seen in Team India’s dugout. This news has added new enthusiasm among his fans.

Have played the role of a mentor before

This will not be the first time that Dhoni will be seen in the role of a mentor with Team India. He was also selected for this responsibility in the 2021 T20 World Cup. However, at that time his contract was limited to the same tournament. Now it is reported that this time BCCI wants to connect them with the team for a long time. But, the biggest question is whether Dhoni will be ready for this or not.

Discussion on Gambhir and Dhoni’s pair

Discussions are also being held about Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir. Cricket experts believe that Gambhir will be positive when Dhoni is made a mentor. Significantly, Gambhir was also part of the Indian team, who won the ODI and T20 World Cup under Dhoni’s captaincy. However, in the past, he repeatedly said that the credit for victory should not be given to only one player but the whole team.

Despite this, a video of Gambhir and Dhoni went viral on social media recently, in which both were seen laughing and laughing during a program. This is causing speculations that the two giants may be ready to work together.

Former player Manoj Tiwari tightens Dhoni

Former Indian cricketer Manoj Tiwari said in a conversation with ANI about MS Dhoni that he received the call? Because it is not easy to contact Dhoni in his knowledge. The answer to the message is also very difficult and many players have shared such experience.

Tiwari said that if Dhoni reads the message, then it will tell whether it will answer it or not. He further said that if Dhoni gets an offer to become a mentor of Team India, then it has to be seen first whether he will accept it or not, and even if he agrees, it will not be easy to say how much he will have an impact on the team.

Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020, but he is still active in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, it is not clear whether he will continue to play till 2026 edition.
