Chennai: Despite the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, the Rohit Sharma-led side made it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022 - but unfortunately lost by 10 wickets in the knockout against England. After the heavy defeat, the team is facing heavy criticism. The BCCI had also called a meeting with the players recently to discuss what went wrong. Now a report in Telegraph suggests that former India skipper MS Dhoni is now being spoken to by the BCCI. The Indian board wants Dhoni - who has experience of winning ICC titles - back in the fold in some capacity. The same report also suggests that Dhoni will retire from IPL after the 2023 cricket season. The BCCI is keen to utilize his experience and technical skills in the right way and will induct the former Indian skipper. The former India captain had worked with the team during the T20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE but in an interim capacity. His short participation for about a week did not bring the desired results as the team was eliminated in the opening round itself. The move will also reduce the workload on head coach Rahul Dravid. There are whispers that Rohit Sharma will give up the captaincy and Hardik Pandya will take his place. Hardik has been successful as a leader for Gujarat Titans. There is no confirmation on this story yet but surely fans would love to see him back in the blue.
