NEW DELHI: Mahendra Singh Dhoni was always a bowlers’ captain in white-ball cricket and his presence as a team mentor for the T20 World Cup will immensely benefit Jasprit Bumrah and Co, feels former India opener Virender Sehwag. Dhoni was recently named mentor for the mega event by the BCCI.
“I am very happy that MS accepted the offer to be the Team Mentor for the T20 World Cup. I know many people want that MS should again come back into the mainstream of Indian cricket and being roped in as the mentor is the best thing that could have happened,” Sehwag told PTI in an exclusive interview.
Sehwag, who has played alongside Dhoni for a decade, knew what his core strength was as a captain and that is understanding his bowlers’ psyche in the limited-overs format.
“As a keeper, MS was exceptional with his understanding of field placements and this is something that will help the bowling unit in this World Cup. The bowlers can pick his brains and get useful tips on planning against a batsman,” the explosive opener of yesteryears said.
