Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni has made a change in the old figure of speech, “Jack of all trades, master of none” as he is becoming the master of all. After attaining imaginable heights in the cricketing arena by winning several accolades for India, Dhoni is now showing his prowess with a tennis racquet on the court. Recently, he was spotted playing Tennis Doubles in a local tournament in Ranchi and unsurprisingly, he lifted the title in his respective category. Despite being excluded from the Indian T20I side, Dhoni is currently enjoying his time away from cricket in his hometown Ranchi.
Dhoni plied his trade in the JSCA Country Cricket Club Tennis Championship in Ranchi where he played with a local tennis champion and ended up winning the trophy. As per reports the veteran wicketkeeper-batsman won the final 6-3, 6-3 in straight sets and left the crowd mesmerized with his talent.

It’s just another trophy for the illustrious cabinet of Dhoni, who have already have won all major ICC trophies. In international cricket, 2018 has been a forgettable year for Mahi as he failed to score runs across formats. After a series of dismal performances against England followed by the Asia Cup and West Indies series, he was even been dropped from the T20I squad.
Rishabh Pant, who has often been touted as his successor was roped in into the squad along with Dinesh Karthik. Team India drew the three-match T20I series against Australia 1-1 and the practice match against Cricket Australia XI at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where Murali scored a brilliant century in the 2nd innings. The Test series starts on December 6.
Dhoni is now expected to take part in the ODI series against Australia, which starts on 12th January.
