Former RPS skipper MS Dhoni has finally got back his forma and that too when it was needed the most. On Saturday in a match against SRH, while chasing the target of 177 in Pune, Dhoni played innings of 61* off just 34 deliveries. During that innings he smashed as much as 3 sixes and 5 boundaries. 

Earlier this year, India’s most successful skipper, MS Dhoni has decided to hang his boots as the captain of Indian team in shorter formats of the game as well. It has been one of the most disheartening news of year for Indian cricket fans that too at the start of 2017.

He has now complete trust of Virat Kohli as he has the ability to take the Indian cricket to a greater heights.
