Rohit Sharma Drops Bombshell, Reveals MS Dhoni’s Plans for USA Trip Before T20 World Cup

MS Dhoni may have retired from international cricket, but his appearances in IPL 2024 have sparked speculation about a possible return for the T20 World Cup later this year. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, speaking on the Club Prairie Fire podcast alongside Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan, hinted at the difficulty of convincing Dhoni to join the squad for the tournament in the West Indies.

Sharma acknowledged Dhoni’s involvement in other pursuits, particularly golf, suggesting that persuading him to travel to the West Indies might be challenging. However, he hinted that Dhoni might be more inclined to participate in the tournament in the USA. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Dhoni’s potential comeback, Sharma praised his recent performance in the IPL, highlighting a quickfire 20-run innings that proved decisive in a match against Mumbai Indians, which Chennai Super Kings won by 20 runs.

Sharma also commented on Dinesh Karthik’s chances of making it to the T20 World Cup squad. Following Karthik’s impressive innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Sharma suggested that convincing the wicketkeeper-batsman to participate in the tournament might be easier than persuading Dhoni.
