MS Dhoni was brought as Team India mentor to check Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri, reveals former India pacer

Former India pacer Atul Wassan made a revelation, claiming that MS Dhoni was roped in to ensure that Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri did not have their way with the team. 

Former India captain and Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni was brought in as the ‘Team Mentor’ for the T20 World Cup 2021 immediately after the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. While cricket fans were delighted by this move, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had other plans/

The T20 World Cup 2021 was the last tournament for the captain coach duo of Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri. Shastri’s tenure was up as he was set to step down as India’s head coach, while Kohli had already announced that he would no longer continue as captain of the T20I side post the Word Cup.

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah had revealed the reason behind appointing Dhoni as team’s mentor, saying that with an impeccable record in ICC tournaments, Dhoni’s wisdom and his wealth of knowledge would promise to prove beneficial for Indian cricket.
