On the eve of the Vizag T20I, Dhoni was seen sweating it out in the net session to get back in rhythm following a short break after the conclusion of the New Zealand tour. He has been in a good nick as he made proper contact with almost all the deliveries during the training session.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) uploaded the video on social media and their post read: “Belting it at the nets @msdhoni #TeamIndia #INDvAUS”

The Indian team will be aiming to lock in the last couple of available slots in their England-bound World Cup squad when they will lock horns with familiar foes Australia in a limited overs series starting with the first T20. The seven-match series comprising two T20Is and five ODIs against a struggling Australian team will be India’s last international assignment before the mega event starting May 30 in England and Wales.

With most of the place in the Indian squad already being sealed, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri will also treat these two T20 games as an extended audition for the World Cup probables, who are still on the waiting list.

Kohli has finally made a comeback to the squad after a well-deserved three-week break and will be keeping a keen eye on the likes of Rishabh Pant and Vijay Shankar, two players who are strongly tipped to make the elite list.
