He’s one of the most loved cricketers in the country, but Indian wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni has time and again proved that he’s just like any of us on most days. During his time off from national duty, the former Indian captain has been spending quality time with daughter Ziva, before he leaves for the ODI series Down Under.
From one such day at the beach, Mahi posted videos of covering his daughter in sand, and reminisced doing the same in his childhood.
“As a kid whenever we got sand, this was the one thing we would do for sure,” he said.
The 37-year-old was excluded from India’s squad for the three-match T20 series against Australia, that ended in a 1-1 draw. And having given up red-ball cricket in 2014, is next due to play the three-match ODI series, starting 12 January in Sydney.
At a recent event, Dhoni seemed pretty satisfied with how the Indian team across formats have shaped and attributed the success in Australia to the quality bowling unit at their disposal.
"I am very happy with the way our cricket is going. See... the fast bowlers how they are bowling in the Test arena. To win a Test match, we need 20 wickets whether it is spinners or the fast bowlers.
"As of now, we have a bowling attack that is taking 20 Test wickets every match, which means we have the chance of winning every Test match that we are play," the two-time World Cup-winning captain said.
