Mahendra Singh Dhoni, arguably India’s most successful captain hails from the state of Jharkhand, which was few years back considered to be backwaters of cricket. Today, Mahendra Singh Dhoni after achieving almost everything that is there on offer, he is going to play and represent his country in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. India play their first match against arch rivals Pakistan and Mahendra Singh Dhoni seems to be in good form. He is usually a wicket keeper and a great one at that nut that does not stop him from breaking conventions and rolling his arm over once a while. Well, wicket-keepers usually do not stretch themselves so far but MSD is street smart and that is what makes him stand out.
Indian cricket team who are now in England, were having a practise session today, where MSD was spotted throwing the ball, I mean rolling his arm over. He was also seen play as a fielder in the last warm-up game against Bangladesh, where we also saw him drop a catch, which he would have easily taken had he been with his glove on. That also got a laughter out of Virat Kohli, who could not stop himself laughing.

Well, MSD was throwing the ball side arm. Do not miss Virat Kohli in the backdrop, who is probably getting ready for a bat. It seems India is a well oiled outfit raring to go. It is also Dinesh Karthik’s birthday today.
Happy birthday @DineshKarthik. Here’s wishing you lots of success with the bat and gloves. pic.twitter.com/LlrgRFu5CL
