Video of legendary MS Dhoni showing off his dancing moves alongside Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan and Krunal Pandya to a Badshah song has taken social media by storm.
According to reports, the video of former India skipper Dhoni with the current players is from a Dubai birthday party where they were invited as guests.
In the video the cricketers, circling around Dhoni can be seen dancing to a song by famous Indian rapper Badshah.
Dhoni, who is known from staying away from spotlight after his international retirement recently was also spotted with Kedar Jadhav, giving him a tour of his Ranchi farmhouse.
Hardik, on the other hand recently led the Indian team to a 1-0 T20I series win in New Zealand but skipped the ODI series where Shikhar Dhawan is leading the team.
The Indian cricket team management has its eyes set on the future and among its first steps to build a pool of players for the next T20 World Cup, the BCCI could take a major call including appointment of a new captain and phasing out the senior players.
Reports have emerged that the BCCI could soon call up a meeting with the current India T20I captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Rahul Dravid and senior batter Virat Kohli to discuss the future course of action as far as the shortest format is concerned. The discussion, if and when it happens, is likely to revolve around the next T20 World Cup set to be held in 2024.
It’s also possible that Dravid, who is in charge of all three formats like Rohit, could have his workload shared by a specialist coach for the T20I side.
India yet again return emptyhanded from an ICC tournament as they lost to England by 10 wickets in the semifinal of the T20 World Cup earlier this month.
Soon after the exit, news agency PTI quoted an unnamed BCCI source as saying that the senior players in the team will now only be focused on Tests and ODIs and in the handful of T20I matches India are slated to play next year, youngsters will be given the preference.
“The BCCI never asks anyone to retire. It is an individual decision. But yes, with just a handful of T20Is scheduled in 2023, most of the seniors will concentrate on ODIs and Test matches in that cycle," the BCCI source was quoted as saying.
“You don’t need to announce retirement if you don’t want to. You will not see most of the seniors playing T20 next year," the source added.
The official line though is that the team is not willing to publicly discuss the succession plan, yet. “It’s too early to talk about it right now just after a semi-final game. These guys have been terrific performers for us. Like you said, we have a couple of years to reflect on it," Dravid had said after the semifinal loss.
