kirkutfan Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 It looks like Dhoni is taking Shastri’s spot. Shastri- figurehead
bowl_out Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 He would contribute to half the wickets that spinners take
Austin 3:!6 Posted September 8, 2021 Author Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) My only worry is Kohli might feel insecure as too many cooks spoil the broth. I am a firm believer captain should have all the power and coaches are just to assist. At the same token captain must take all the blame too if team loses. No fan of Kohli's captaincy but since he is the captain...he should have final say. I am sure MSD himself wont have liked had they appointed Ganguly as mentor when he was captain. Dhoni should always remember that this is Virat's team now. Else I smell a clash. Edited September 8, 2021 by Austin 3:!6 kirkutfan 1

Why is this role event created? Unless MSD is going to transition to coaching. I don’t think any team has such a concept. MI has a few but they use them more like brand ambassadors especially Sachin. Once in a while wears the jersey, sits in the crowd and waves to the fans and gives emotions towards the camera when team is winning or losing. That’s about it. For IPl it is fine but what’s the point of this in a WT20 squad? Might as well wasted that ticket for u-19 player to travel along and gain experience. If Dhoni is mentoring the team then what is Kohli doing? If he is mentoring and guiding Kohli what about the coaches, if he is mentoring the coaches then what is Ganguly doing? sab logon ko chew banane ke gimmicks hai. Norman and Austin 3:!6 2
ShoonyaSifar Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Same as he had in real T20 WCs from 2009 onwards - negative. Kohli-Shastri have clearly done their part of the IOU with Dhoni. He silently supported Kumble's ouster and this TM has paid it back to him. That was always the plan. Bu for Covid, Dhoni would have been the first choice keeper in 2020 and 2021 WCs.

Think this is the ground work for Dhoni to become full time coach. It will be very unfair to Rahul Dravid if that is the case. maniac 1
Hell Raiser Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) In his playing days he used to get wickets from behind the stumps by giving tips to bowlers, now he will get wickets from dugout. For batsmen, he will show them the process of consolidating from ball one till tea and tire out the opposition bowlers and finally blast them away in the third and final session of the day. If by chance India wins the cup, all credit will go to thalaiva, if india lose then he is just a mentor what can he do.. Khelo dimag se...

maniac Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Buzz about MSD given this role because of issues within the dressing room yet again. While I think these might be just gossip mongering, issues between Kohli-Rohit, 2 power centers of the team are well known.
Vilander Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 He is not retired is it? OK so make him captain he is the best eva I guess.. OK bubye
ipl is fun Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Can MSD be used for toss, check the pitch, select team during the toss. Then Brat can take over Edited September 8, 2021 by ipl is fun
