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.”

Let me tell you that MS Dhoni became the mentor of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2021. In that edition, the Indian team lost to Pakistan and New Zealand in Super 12 and could not even reach the semi -finals.

MS Dhoni has been one of the most successful captains of India. Under his captaincy, Team India won the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy. Many players have achieved a very high place in international cricket by playing with him. This makes it clear that Dhoni is well aware to use the talent of the players properly. In 2020, Dhoni took his retirement from international cricket, he was also a mentor of the Indian team in the 2021 T20 World Cup next year. Now Akash Chopra has discussed a subject about which the whole of India wants to know.

Now that time is probably not far when MS Dhoni will also take retirement from IPL. In such a situation, the question comes out whether Dhoni will ever consider becoming an Indian coach after stopping his playing career? Former India cricketer Akash Chopra believes that Dhoni will probably never take the responsibility of coaching on his shoulders.

Will MS Dhoni become coach of Team India?

Akash Chopra on his YouTube channel said, “I don’t think MS Dhoni is interested in giving coaching. There are difficulties in coaching boat. In coaching you have to be busy in coaching as you used to be in your cricket career days. Sometimes responsibilities are more than that.”

Why not coach players

Akash Chopra also explained why most of the players do not do coaching jobs. He said, “You have a family, you think that you have spent all your life walking around with suitcases. So why do the same work to do now. That is why most players do not do coaching jobs. Even if they do it, then for only 2 months in IPL. On the other hand you become the coach of the Indian team, then you have to stay with the team in a year. I don’t think that I will have so much time.”
