“Invite India Test captains for Day 1 & 2 of the Test. All captains at the ground along with (Virat) Kohli and the rest of the team as well as the dignitaries line up for the anthem. Captains appear on commentary as guests through the day to recollect their favorite moments from India’s Test history. Down memory lane segments recorded with individual captains are played on the big screen at the ground in breaks Day 4 onwards,” the Star Sports proposal to BCCI says as per India Today.

This means MS Dhoni might be seen doing commentary for the first time ever if the former India skipper accepts the invitation that has already been sent out.
