MS Dhoni is no longer an active international cricketer. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star announced his retirement from all forms of interntaional cricket in August 2020, a year after he had has last played an international fixture. However, given that he remains the only India captain to win a T20 World Cup, way back in 2007, if given a chance, the Indian team management would still want to bank on his experience as India look to end an ICC title drought.

While talking about India's T20 World Cup team selection on the Club Prairie Fire podcast which also featured Rohit's former Deccan Charger captain Adam Gilchrist and ex-England skipper Michael Vaughan, Rohit said that even though it would be hard to convince Dhoni to be part of the team, he will be in the USA.

"It’ll be hard to convince MSD for sure to come to West Indies, I guess. Uh, he’s sick and tired. He’s coming to US, though, to do something else. He’s into golf now, so he’s coming to play golf, I guess," said Sharma when Gilchrist teased whether the idea of going with Dhoni and Dinesh Kartik for the T20 World Cup scheduled in USA and West Indies in June.

Rohit was all in praise for his ex-India captain Dhoni, especially his 4-ball 20 against MI which turned out to be the difference between the two sides during their match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

"He [Dhoni] came to play four balls, made a huge impact, got those 20-22 runs and that was eventually the difference in the end," said Sharma.

On the possibility of Karthik making the India squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit said that it would be easier to convince DK than Dhoni. Karthik has been in great form this IPL too even as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are in the middle of another miserable season.

"Quite impressed, you know, especially with Dinesh, the way he batted a couple of nights back," Rohit said.

"Yeah, DK will be easy to convince, I guess."
