According to sources, the BCCI wants to leverage MS Dhoni’s T20I experience ahead of the 2024 World Cup. MS Dhoni was a member of the side that competed in the T20 World Cup 2021 last year.
Former Indian captain MS Dhoni. Is without a doubt one of the finest leaders in the sport’s history. The squad was able to take satisfaction in its exceptional results under his supervision. In 2013, he was present at the ICC Champions Trophy. The 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
Furthermore, the Men in Blue have failed to win a trophy since Dhoni stood down as captain. India’s most recent campaign ended in a devastating loss to England in the just concluded T20 World Cup quarterfinals.
The inclusion of the 2011 World Cup champion in India’s T20I team is something that the BCCI, India’s top cricket regulatory body, is considering. Furthermore, the BCCI has demanded a meeting with the players to discuss the last event’s unsatisfactory performance.

BCCI may utilize advantage of MS Dhoni’s knowledge.
Whether it’s the 50-over format or the sport’s shortest format, Dhoni has a great grasp of the game. If BCCI is successful in securing his services, his knowledge might be useful for the Men in Blue in preparation for the next ICC competitions, particularly the T20 World Cup 2024.
Dhoni has already collaborated with the company, but just for the UAE T20 World Cup in 2021. Although the short-term results did not appear to be favorable, the squad may profit in the long run from his participation this time.
Furthermore, members of the cricketing community have argued that the management must be changed from within, and some have even recommended adding AB de Villiers’ name to the set-up. Because the BCCI has not yet issued an official confirmation, it is uncertain how the matter would unfold.
India will face New Zealand together in three-match T20I series commencing in November 18 in New Zealand, led by Hardik Pandya.
