2024 T20 World Cup: BCCI to utilise MS Dhoni's exprience

After a humiliating defeat against England in T20 World Cup, Team India is facing immense criticism.

The BCCI along with the players are introspecting the reasons behind the debacle in the mega event. As per media reports, former India captain MS Dhoni is now being spoken to by the BCCI. The board is mulling to retain the Captain Cool, who has immense experience of winning ICC titles, in some capacity. Reports says Dhoni will hang up his boots from Indian Premier League (IPL) after the 2023 season.

The former skipper is arguably one of the finest captains the sport has ever seen. Under his leadership, Team India won the T20 World Cup in 2007, the ODI World Cup in 2011, and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013.


After Dhoni's departure, the Men in Blue have not won any global ICC event and recently India suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup.

BCCI has called for a meeting with the players to discuss the dismal outing in the event. The Board is keen to use Captain Cool’s vast and rich experience to give a boost to Team India’s performance.

Dhoni has already worked with Team India during T20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE in an interim capacity. According to BCCI, utilising Dhoni will also lessen the workload on head coach Rahul Dravid.

Though, the development has not been confirmed, die-hard fans will be excited to see the inclusion of MS Dhoni into the squad in some capacity.

India are set to play New Zealand in New Zealand in a three-match T20I series under the leadership of Hardik Pandya starting November 18.
