Legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar said MS Dhoni's return to the Indian team as a mentor is a big boost for the side, but if there are tactical differences between him and head coach Ravi Shastri during the T20 World Cup, it could have an adverse impact as well.

"Dhoni's appointment as mentor will be a big boost for India," Gavaskar told Aaj Tak.

"But if there are disagreements between Ravi and Dhoni over tactics and team selection, then that may have an effect on the team. I am just praying there is no clash [between them]. But if Ravi and Dhoni can get on the same wave length, then it will benefit India immensely."
