BCCI Reportedly Offers MS Dhoni Expanded Mentor Role Across India Setups
The mooted assignment is framed as a bid to add veteran leadership before the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Overview
- Multiple outlets cite a CricBlogger report, quoting a BCCI source, that MS Dhoni has been approached to mentor the national program.
- The proposed brief is described as wider than 2021, reportedly spanning senior, junior and women’s teams.
- No official confirmation has been issued by the BCCI, Dhoni or Chennai Super Kings.
- Coverage says Dhoni is unlikely to accept due to a reportedly strained relationship with head coach Gautam Gambhir.
- Dhoni previously served as India’s mentor at the 2021 T20 World Cup, and the latest outreach is tied in reporting to preparations for the 2026 edition and ongoing speculation about his IPL future.
