T20 World Cup 2021: MS Dhoni joins Team India camp ahead of the tournament
MS Dhoni recently joined the Indian camp in the UAE ahead of the T20 World Cup. He will be part of Team India's support staff at the mega tournament and mentor the Virat Kohli-led side. It marks the comeback of MS Dhoni into the Indian dressing room after almost two years, as he was last there during the 2019 World Cup in England.
The BCCI updated fans on MS Dhoni's arrival as they took to their official Twitter handle to post a couple of snaps. In the photos, fans can see Dhoni in a good mood while in the company of Ravi Shastri and other coaching staff members. BCCI shared the following post and captioned it:
