Kohli is captaining the squad in the T20 format for the last time; he completely trusts that Dhoni’s experience will help the team in critical stages through the World Cup.
At the pre-tournament press meeting, Kohli said, “MSD makes a positive difference when he is in a leadership role for any team. Pleased to have him in T20 World Cup; he will guide and help lift the spirit of the team members.”
“MSD provides with such useful inputs and intricate details of where the match is leading and where we can improve,” his tremendous experience makes much difference to the squad,” Kohli further added.
The T20 World Cup will be the last of the T20 format for Virat Kohli; furthermore, it will be a farewell for Ravi Shastri as team coach. The BCCI planning to sign Rahul Dravid as the next coach, yet before beginning the succession plan.
However, one clear benefit for team India is that due to the IPL T20 matches, all the players are familiar with the conditions in the UAE. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni has recently won the IPL T20 2021 title, and his years of experience in winning matches will benefit Virat Kohli and his squad. Moreover, analysts say Kohli would want to end his stint as T20I on a positive note.
