A news has come out a few months before the T20 World Cup 2026, which can bring earthquake in Indian cricket. Actually, a report has claimed that BCCI wants to give MS Dhoni a mentor role again. Dhoni had earlier become the mentor of Team India during the 2021 T20 World Cup, at that time the head coach was Ravi Shastri. According to the report, Dhoni has been offered, but he will probably not accept it.

MS Dhoni will become the mentor of Team India?

A BCCI source quoted Cricblogger as saying that MS Dhoni can be helpful in preparing a team of next generation in Indian cricket by becoming a mentor. It was also said that Dhoni will hardly accept this offer, and the reason behind doing so will be Gautam Gambhir. When MS Dhoni was made Mentor in 2021, the Indian team could not even go to the semi -finals of the T20 World Cup.

Some other reports said that MS Dhoni can also say goodbye to the Indian Premier League after IPL 2026. The start of IPL 2026 will start next month with the conclusion of the 2026 T20 World Cup. There is no doubt that MS Dhoni’s stay will prove to be very helpful for the next generation players, but the process of his thinking can be quite different from Gautam Gambhir.
