The Men in Blue are set to start their T20 World Cup run by playing against Pakistan on Sunday. The match will take place in

  Melbourne. Former legendary skipper MS Dhoni will not be there inside the dressing room this time.  


It has been 2 years since Dhoni retired from international cricket yet he is one of the most-followed cricketers. The former India captain appeared at a promotional event and said, "I am not playing the World Cup. The team has already left”.






The former India captain, Dhoni will be seen donning the yellow jersey in the upcoming IPL. He is an inspiration for an era, is the only captain to have won three ICC trophies, and to have 10,000 plus runs in the 50-overs format. 


Earlier, he stated," Definitely. It's a simple reason: it will be unfair to not play in Chennai and say thank you [to the fans]. Mumbai is one place where, as a team and as an individual, I have got a lot of love and affection. But it wouldn't be nice to the CSK fans”.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami.
