Unlikely

“I would definitely like to see Dhoni in India’s World Cup squad but it’s highly unlikely that it is going to happen,” Gavaskar told Dainik Jagran .

“The team has moved on. Dhoni is not someone to make big announcements, so I reckon he would silently retire from the game.”

Dhoni recently left the Chennai Super Kings training camp following the suspension of the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) till April 15 in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dhoni has not played since the World Cup semifinal loss to New Zealand in July last year.
