Indian team skipper Virat Kohli, who will be leading the national team for one last time in the T20 format, has said that having former captain MS Dhoni as the mentor for the ongoing T20 World Cup will boost the morale of the team even further. The BCCI announced the appointment of Dhoni as India's mentor for the ICC tournament last month.
Dhoni, who announced his retirement from international cricket last year, has led India to victory in the inaugural 2007 ICC World T20, the 2010 and 2016 Asia Cups, the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Expressing his contentment at Dhoni's position in the team, Kohli said, He makes a difference when he is in a leadership role in any team. Absolutely delighted to have him in the environment. He will certainly boost the morale of this team further. Such practical inputs and such intricate details of where the game is going and where we can improve.
He further added, Massive experience. He is quite excited about getting back in this environment. He has always been a mentor for all of us, when we were starting our careers at that time he played and now he has the same opportunity to continue the same again. Especially for the younger guys who are in early stages of their career, just experience that he has gained over the years and having conversations with him about the game.
