Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir believes the appointment of MS Dhoni as the mentor for the Indian team in the men's T20 World Cup is attributed to his experience and mindset of handling pressure in crunch games. He also said that young players in the team will benefit from his experiences as captain and handling pressure situations.

On Wednesday, BCCI secretary Jay Shah made the announcement of Dhoni's appointment as India's mentor for the T20 World Cup in the UAE in a virtual press conference.
