S Sreesanth, who was part of the World T20 2007 and World Cup 2011 win, is hopeful of seeing MS Dhoni return to cricket for the T20 World Cup. He is eager for the Indian Premier League (IPL) to take place before the World Cup so Dhoni could make himself available for the tournament.

The 38-year-old Dhoni hasn't featured in the Indian cricket team since World Cup 2019 loss. He needs to prove himself in IPL to have a chance in the Indian squad. Currently, the team is already happy to have an in-form wicket-keeper batsman KL Rahul.

Sreesanth feels Dhoni deserves to be carried on the shoulder after the tournament like Sachin Tendulkar.

“He should definitely play the T20 World Cup. I genuinely hope IPL happens before the World Cup so that we get to see Dhoni bhai’s crazy innings because a lot of people have been talking and he has been silent. He knows what he does,” Sreesanth told CricketAddictor.

“The biggest example for a human being is let the world say, whatever they say, he is serving our country. He is serving Army. He has made it clear I don’t want to join politics and all. He has said, I want to do service and don’t think I even deserve to comment on it

“Let Dhoni bhai decide. As a cricket fan, as I used to see Sachin paaji, I really want Dhoni bhai to be playing and win the World Cup. Maybe then someday like Sachin paaji called it a day, that Dhoni bhai can decide. I want Dhoni bhai should walk the field on someone’s shoulder and it will happen,” Sreesanth added.
