Shaji Mulk, the chairman of T10 Sports League, stated that they would approach former India captain MS Dhoni about joining the T10 league in Abu Dhabi. Mulk added that Dhoni had given them advice regarding league tactics prior to the start of this T10 tournament.
Dhoni is considered a cricketing legend. Dhoni retired as one of India’s most successful captains, having led the team for decades and winning three International Cricket Council (ICC) titles. The Ranchi-born cricketer is still playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as the captain of the Chennai Super Kings.
“Dhoni has a lot of influence on T10. He advised us before the ahead of the league. As he retires, we will surely approach him,” T10 league Chairman Shaji Mulk said.
While Dhoni’s brilliant play at the international level has come to an end, the wicketkeeper captain of the Chennai Super Kings continues to surprise opponents in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The legendary Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi was the setting for the sixth season of the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament, which featured legends like Dwayne Bravo, Alex Hales, Suresh Raina, David Miller, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kieron Pollard, and Eoin Morgan etc.
“BCCI regulations allow entry of retired players into the league. Big names like Robin Uthappa will be playing next year. Players like Suresh Raina have already been part of the league. Many Indian players are already part of it and many are in touch with us all we need is BCCI permission,” he added.
8 teams are competing in the Abu Dhabi T10 over 33 games for the championship, with the final scheduled for December 4.
