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.
