MS Dhoni Spotted in Whites Ahead of Eden Test

There has been growing criticism of former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni over his dip in form, but captain Virat Kohli has backed the veteran cricketer and said it is unfair to single out an individual as the whole team played poorly in Rajkot.

He went on to add that Kohli is not over 34 years of age no one will question him if he fails for a couple of matches, but as Dhoni is an old horse; people are pointing fingers at him which is not right.

Kohli said that Dhoni has been contributing to the team’s cause in every way possible and will continue to be part of even the T20I squad shortly.

Meanwhile, for the first time after his retirement from the longest format of the game, Dhoni was seen in whites at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata which is the venue for the opening Test between India and Sri Lanka scheduled to start from 16th November. Dhini batted in the nets for a while and enjoyed his time in the practice session.

Dhoni was part of the training session not to be part of the 1st Test but for a commercial shoot with another former Indian skipper Kapil Dev. He went up and looked at the pitch as a ritual and gave some thrown downs to his teammates. The small crowd gathered in the Eden was very happy to see Dhoni in action.

Dhoni called it quits from Test cricket following his final Test match against the Aussies in 2014 passing on the captaincy baton to Virat Kohli. Ever since retiring from Tests, Dhoni has never been seen practicing with his team ahead of a Test match.

Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan team has already arrived in Kolkata and will be playing a practice game against the Board President’s XI on November 11.
