Austin 3:!6 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 As they say, legends never retire. So Thala is back in the team as mentor. What are we expecting from him? Will his calm and composed demenour is what this team needs? New guy 1 Link to comment

Norman Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Not a bad decision at all. Won't complain if he's appointed as the white ball head coach.. But please keep him as far away as possible from the Test team jf1gp_1 and Austin 3:!6 1 1 Link to comment

zen Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I like the decision as MSD can provide helpful tips ... However, we are congregating the same guys w/o too much freshness - Dhoni (mentor), Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja (playing WCs since 2009) & Ashwin (playing WCs since 2011). Austin 3:!6 1 Link to comment

The win and loss should be on captain and team management. Never understood what a mentor does. nevada and Austin 3:!6 2 Link to comment
New guy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 IMO this is also to clip kohlis wings a little, he is surrounded by yes men and has complete control. This will help control that Cricspin, asterix, Lord and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Suhaan Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Wasn't needed at all,taking it real deep beyond the tournament will be the real mantra And obviously moron kaptaan won't understand it Mosher 1 Link to comment
The Hound Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Having the best LOI captain of all time in your camp is a great thing to have. He knows how to use spinners well on slow tracks so chances of Kohli effing up will be less. Link to comment
Prabhdeep Singh Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Not sure you require MS Dhoni as mentor when you have the most successful IPL captain in Team. As they say 'Too many cooks spoil the broth'. This decision may cause more confusion. Mosher, Austin 3:!6 and Suhaan 3 Link to comment
Sean Bradley Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Good Call by the selectors, with Rohit Sharma in the Team and Dhoni as a mentor, 2 captains with highest IPL victories to guide captain Lolli, anything short of a tournament victory will be a failure for Team India.

maniac Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 On a side note: I thought he was focusing on armed forces after retirement. IPl is fine as he is under contract but why waste time on a pointless mentor role when his services are needed on the border with the whole Taliban issue, China problem etc or even internal security with potential covid waves I will throw up if he shows up with balidaan badges sitting in the dugout.
