Even though MS Dhoni has officially retired from international cricket, if you’re watching IPL 2024 and the great man is tease his fans with little cameos, you probably secretly wish to see MSD play for India once more. And with the USA and the West Indies hosting the T20 World Cup in 2024, is it feasible that the unthinkable will occur? The Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, is attempting to persuade Dhoni, but he most likely already knows the answer. Sharma stated that it will be difficult to persuade Dhoni to travel to the West Indies, but he will be in the USA, when discussing the T20 World Cup & team selection with Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan on the Club Prairie Fire podcast.
“I suppose it will be difficult to get MSD to visit the West Indies. He’s tired and unwell, I guess. But he’s not really visiting the US for that purpose. “I assume he’s coming to play golf since he’s into it now,” Sharma said in response to Gilchrist’s suggestion that MSD and Dinesh Karthik be considered for the T20 World Cup. Sharma praised Dhoni’s 20-run performance in 4 balls against the Mumbai Indians on Sunday, claiming it was the game-winning effort. MI lost that game to CSK by a score of 20 runsHe came to bat with four balls remaining, made a big difference, and scored those 20–22 runs, which turned out to be the difference, according to Sharma.
Sharma made a thought-provoking remark regarding Karthik’s chances of joining the squad. Sharma was only seen making fun of Karthik’s T20 World Cup place last week during Mumbai Indians vs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru. A few days later, DK struck 85 runs off of just 35 deliveries in a spectacular innings against SRH, which fueled the entire argument. Sharma speculated that it could be simpler to persuade the wicketkeeper-batter to participate in the T20 World Cup than it would be to persuade Dhoni. Sharma remarked, “You know, I’m pretty impressed, especially with Dinesh, the way he batted a couple of nights ago,” before continuing, “Yeah, DK will be easy to convince, I guess.”
