Team India won the ODI World Cup title after 28 years in 2011. The biggest role in this victory was the partnership between MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir. The pair ended the wait for the years of Team India. Now after many years, this pair can once again come together to make India the champion, if this plan of BCCI becomes successful. At this time, even though Team India is focused on the Asia Cup, the BCCI has started preparing for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Keeping in mind the T20 World Cup 2026, the Asia Cup will be played in T20 format this time. A big update has surfaced before this tournament to be played next year. Former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir can be seen working together.
Dhoni can get a big responsibility
According to media reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has once again proposed to former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to become the mentor of the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2026. Dhoni played the role of Mentor during the 2021 T20 World Cup held in UAE, but Team India’s performance was very poor and he was repeated from the group stage itself.
According to the report by Cricblogger, a BCCI source has confirmed that Dhoni can be given the post. The source has said that Dhoni has been proposed to guide Indian cricket once again. The board believes that their strategic thinking, calm leadership ability and the experience of winning the tournament can prove to be important in preparing the team for the challenge of another world title. However, the question is whether Dhoni will accept this offer or not.
Will BCCI bring serious dhoni along?
Gautam Gambhir is currently the head coach of the Indian team. In such a situation, if Dhoni is made a mentor, then these two veterans will have to work together. However, in the last few years, there have been reports of sourness in the relationship between these two veterans, especially due to the rhetoric of Gautam Gambhir. He has made a statement against Dhoni many times. However, Dhoni and Gambhir are always seen honoring each other on the field.
