The cricket governing body of India Board of Control for Cricket in India is busy introspecting where it went wrong after the knockout. In the semis, the Men In Blue were knocked out. Rohit Men could not even give a tough fight in the semis. Several questions were raised on the team selection and the playing eleven. Players missing key tournaments due to IPL were also raised.
Now it is said that the BCCI wants to rope in former Indian Cricket team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni for a key post and he might serve the Indian team. Dhoni left a rich legacy and made India lift all three ICC trophies. After Dhoni left captaincy India could not win any trophy.
Having a cool mindset and playing aggressive shots is Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s nature and the BCCI reportedly wants to use his skills and make the Indian team strong. Team India’s conservative approach in the T20 World Cup is said to be the main reason behind India’s defeat as the openers could not make the best of powerplay in any match.
Dhoni is a big tournament man and he plays to his best in big tournaments. We have seen how he played match-winning innings in the 2011 World Cup finals. When team India lost early wickets Dhoni built a partnership and won the match.
A popular international media outlet carried out a story that says that the BCCI wants to address the workload of the players and that each format might have dedicated players. The BCCI wants to put more focus on the T20 format and Dhoni would be roped in for the short format.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni can play in any condition and he has proved that on many occasions. Not just ICC trophies, Dhoni also won a few IPL trophies with senior players. Not all players can do that and this might come in handy.
As the media reports say that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is likely to bid goodbye to the IPL next year, the BCCI wants to make use of Dhoni’s skills and is expecting the former skipper to groom the young players.
