On January 16, Dhoni was excluded from the BCCI list of central contracts. However, on the same day, he was seen training with the Jharkhand Ranji team.
In fact, the veteran wicket-keeper batsman, who was training for the first time since India’s loss in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand in July last year, stunned Jharkhand coach Rajiv Kumar with his fluent batting.
