BCCI have announced the Indian squad for upcoming T20 World Cup and there have been some major surprises. Amid all the inclusions in the side, one of the major shocks was the appointment of MS Dhoni as the mentor for the side for the mega event. Out of nowhere, BCCI announced that captain cool will be part of Indian dressing room in UAE giving his valuable inputs to the Men in Blue.
Talking about MS Dhoni’s appointment as mentor, BCCI secretary Jay Shah said, “(I) spoke to him in Dubai. He agreed to be mentor for WT20 only and I discussed with my colleagues and all are on same page. I spoke to captain (Virat Kohli) and vice captain (Rohit Sharma) and everyone agreed.”
Twitterati express their excitement on Dhoni’s return
As soon as the news was confirmed, the netizens went absolutely berserk on social media with many former cricketers and fans reacting on MS Dhoni’s appointment as mentor. While Wasim Jaffer posted a hilarious Rajnikanth meme stating ‘Kyu hila dala na’, Dinesh Karthik termed BCCI’s move as a ‘masterstroke’. Suresh Raina also added that the governing body has taken a fabulous decision to have MSD as mentor. Twitter was flooded with posts around MSD in a matter of no time.
