‘Never Seen Him Do It’: Irfan Pathan Surprised At New MS Dhoni Training Video Ahead Of IPL 2020

 


After an absence of more than a year and his international career behind him, MS Dhoni arrived in the Chennai Super Kings camp to kickstart preparations for the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League. In the training camp, however, Dhoni left many surprised including former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan by taking wicket-keeping drills, something that he isn't normally seen doing.

It's been a while since Dhoni played cricket. The man known for his big hits, finishing skills and unorthodox wicket-keeping, has already impressed everyone with his batting prowess in the nets. As the start of the new season gets closer, Dhoni was spotted keeping wickets for a spinner in training, something that he is hardly seen doing in normal circumstances.

"We have seen a new visual where we have seen MS Dhoni keeping the wickets. This never happens, this is something new for me because I have played cricket for so many years with him, whether it is for the Indian team or in the league with CSK, I have never seen him keeping wickets,” said Pathan while speaking at Star Sports.

"So this is because he has not played cricket for a long time. I guess there was some leg-spinner bowling, so he may be trying to check the new bowlers but it is good to see that he is doing keeping during practice," Irfan Pathan said.

Dhoni's fan following is such that no matter where he goes, people turn up in huge numbers just to get a glimpse of the Indian cricket legend. Even in these COVID-19 times, plenty of fans turned up to see Dhoni as he boarded the team bus after the training session.

"Absolutely, this had to happen. And these are good visuals because there have been some disruption in Chennai Super Kings after the withdrawal of two players with Suresh Raina coming back and Harbhajan Singh not playing.

"So, it is a good news that practice has started and it is not a surprise that fans have reached there to see MS Dhoni. This is happening for so many years and it is not a shock that it is happening now also. COVID is there but still fans have reached there to watch MS Dhoni," Pathan said after visuals of fans lining up to Dhoni surfaced.
