BCCI is already in preparation mood for T20 World Cup 2026. It is reported that the Board of Control for Cricket in India has offered former captain MS Dhoni to become a mentor. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, India won the first edition of the T20 World Cup (2007), India will land as defending champions in the next World Cup. Taking a dig at the question of Dhoni being offered mentor offers, former cricketer Manoj Tiwari said that did he pick up the phone? He said that it is difficult to contact him.

Former Indian cricketer and currently West Bengal minister Manoj Tiwari while talking to news agency ANI said, “Did he pick up the phone? Because as far as I know it is difficult to contact him on the phone. The answer to the message is also very difficult, many players have said this in their time. If they read the message, what will you answer or not, then it will be given to them. Whether you will accept it or not, it is very difficult for me to say what will they bring in Team India. “

It will be interesting to see Dhoni and Gambhir pair

Manoj Tiwari further said, “The one who has been a captain and a player as a player will come in handy. Because all the players are emerging and remain the stars of Team India, respect them a lot and listen to them. The biggest thing will be that the pair of MS Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir will also be seen.”
