Dhoni’s role will be crucial for Team India, given his experience as a former captain. Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar feels the CSK captain will help the players in the locker room, but they will have to perform the actual task in the middle.

He told Aaj Tak: ‘Maybe you talk to batsmen and bowlers during a time-out, so the decision to hire Dhoni is good, but Dhoni is in the locker room and it’s the players who do the real job. must export the remedy. How they handle pressure will determine what the outcome will be “.

India, champions in the first edition played in 2007 in South Africa and finalists in 2014, will also have Afghanistan, New Zealand in group 2
