Currently, the Indian cricket team is sweating it out in the uncharacteristically hot summer against England in the series opener of the 5-match Test series as they conceded just 13-run lead in the first innings. However, the former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni, who retired from the longest format of the game is enjoying his time away from the rigors of cricket.
Rhiti Sports, the sports management company that handles all of Dhoni’s commitments away from the field, posted pictures of Mahi involved in a shoot, where the former skipper looked relaxed and even tried his hand at photography.

In the T20I and ODI series in England, MS only played three innings, scoring 37 off 59 balls and 42 off 66 balls in both the ODIs which India went on to lose. In the second T20I earlier, Dhoni’s knock of 32 off 24 balls ended in a winning cause. However, his innings in ODIs were hugely criticized because of the slow strike-rate and the critics felt that was one of the crucial reason for India’s loss in the series.

In the video, Mahi can be seen riding a bicycle on a slope but is not using pedals.

Dhoni announced his retirement from Test cricket in 2014 and has no international cricket on the horizon till September 15 when the Asia Cup begins in the United Arab Emirates.
In the final ODI against England, MS had asked for the cricket ball from the umpire at the end of the match. It sparked off speculations about his retirement from international cricket. However, Indian head coach, Ravi Shastri clarified that Dhoni wanted to show the condition of the cricket ball to bowling coach Bharat Arun.
