The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed Team India’s selection for the 2018 T20 World Cup, as well as the appointment of Indian cricketing icon Mahendra Singh (MS) Dhoni as the team’s mentor. From October 17 until November 14, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will take place. On October 24, India will begin its cricket war against Pakistan.
Fans are understandably ecstatic that Dhoni is ready to return to Team India in some capacity. Here’s a look at the much-anticipated T20 World Cup roster, as well as some fan responses to Dhoni’s appointment as coach.
Wasim Jaffer, a senior Indian cricketer who is famous for his humorous memes, may have reacted to the news with yet another amusing response. He used the example of renowned actor Rajinikanth to demonstrate how he would be startled to find him in the Indian dressing room.
One fan used an image from the popular film ‘3 Idiots’ to illustrate how fans would react to the return of their great skipper to the club.
Meanwhile, as seen in the Tweets below, some other fans were ecstatic to learn that Dhoni would be coaching the team.
MS Dhoni is most known for leading India to the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 World Cup, and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. The Champions Trophy victory confirmed his legacy as the only skipper to win all of the ICC titles. Among his accomplishments, he has guided the team to multiple bilateral series victories.
