Cricket News: MS Dhoni is nearing the end of his cricketing career, having resigned from international cricket over two years ago. The Ranchi-based wicketkeeper-batsman, on the other hand, hasn’t lost his mojo, as the 40-year-old continues to delight spectators with big hits in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Wriddhiman Saha, the wicketkeeper-batter for India and Gujarat Titans, recalled an instance during which the two opened the innings during a local competition in Kolkata.
During a conversation with the Titans, Saha recounted the chapter, which was captured on film and uploaded on their social media.
“Mahindra Singh Dhoni is a well-known name. Once we were playing in a tournament in Kolkata a long time ago as Dhoni was also invited to the tournament. I remember Dhoni had recently made his team India debut and he was considered one of the most dangerous ball hitters going around.”
“We opened the innings together and I remember that I was batting on 36 runs and Dhoni was on nine. He said to me ‘take a single and give him the strike’, and before I realized it, I was still batting on 41 and he had completed his century. I have learned a lot from him in the past years and we both share the same temperament while playing the game,” said the Bengal wicketkeeper-batter.
It's all about 'Keeping' it simple 🙌

Just days before the season opener against Kolkata Knight Riders, Dhoni stood down as skipper of Chennai Super Kings.
Meanwhile, Saha, who played for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous season, has been signed by Titans for a fee of 1.9 crores.
