Salman Butt says “India hoping Dhoni can help them crack the winning formula” in T20 World Cup 2021. Former captain Butt Pakistan stated that the BCCI’s main objective of hiring MS Dhoni as a mentor for the T20 World Cup 2021. It is to help India deal with pressure in the ICC finals. Also, Dhoni was the captain when India last won an ICC event in 2013. They have reached the knockout rounds a number of times under Virat Kohli. But has failed to lift any crown.
“Dhoni has been such a successful player and captain. He can offer a lot to this team in terms of experience. Above all, after his exit, India has played some very good cricket, but they have failed to execute their plans in the final. They are not able to finish on a winning note. Dhoni is someone who has the maximum experience of finishing on the winning note as Indian captain. India is thus hoping Dhoni can make that difference and help them crack the winning formula. This is the main reason why Dhoni has been brought in,” Salman Butt said.
Butt pointed out that Dhoni recently led Chennai Super Kings. Also, to victory against all odds in IPL 2021.

“Recently, he won the IPL as well. Everyone said CSK is an old team, the players need to be younger, and so on. But Dhoni still led the team to victory. Dhoni is always a step ahead. He always has tricks up his sleeve, which can be used and his thought process is sharper than many others,” Butt stated.
Moreover, Virat Kohli has asserted that Dhoni’s presence as a mentor will definitely make a difference. As of Kohli, Dhoni has always been a mentor for the players.
“Lastly, 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,” Kohli said.
