BCCI offers MS Dhoni all-format mentorship role; Gambhir’s career questioned-reports
Digital Desk: Former captain MS Dhoni has reportedly been offered an overall every-format mentor role by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which would include coaching the men's senior, women's, and junior teams.
Drawing on Dhoni's enormous influence to cultivate future talent is the goal of this move. Given their previous disagreements, CricBlogger reports that Gautam Gambhir's continued position as head coach across all formats may be crucial to Dhoni's acceptance.
Despite constant rumors, Dhoni, now 44, had not yet formally accepted a high-level coaching position. After a brief stint as a mentor during the 2021 T20 World Cup, he has focused on playing for the Chennai Super Kings, and the upcoming IPL season is anticipated to be his final one.
India's performance in the future, including the 2026 T20 World Cup, may be impacted by the possible cooperation between Dhoni's tactical style and Gambhir's coaching style.
This project highlights Dhoni's ongoing significance and fits in with Indian cricket's current transitional phase, which is characterized by the emergence of young players and the reorientation of leadership structures.
Regarded by many as one of the greatest captains in history, Dhoni guided India to triumph in the 2011 ODI World Cup, the 2013 Champions Trophy, and the 2007 T20 World Cup.
