Talking about her upcoming projects, Sunny said: “I have two television shows. I am also working in a Hindi film which is being produced under my production house. We will start working on it this year. I am also a part of two South Indian films, so there is a lot of exciting work.”

Dhoni was rested from the last two ODIs of the recently concluded series against Australia as the Indian team management decided to try out Rishabh Pant to finalize the back-up keeper for ODI World Cup 2019. However, Pant had one of his worst days behind the stumps. He missed a crucial stumping opportunity of Ashton Turner when was only on 38.

The match ended up being the turning point of the match as Turner played a match-winning knock of 84* off 43 deliveries to lead Australia to their highest-ever chase in ODIs. India lost the match despite scoring 358. Dhoni’s absence was felt by the spinners too who were taken to the cleaners by Turner and Handscomb.

After having a forgettable 2018, Dhoni faced a lot of criticism for not being able to up the ante when needed. But the former Indian skipper once again silenced his critics by playing some match-winning knocks Down Under earlier this year and even during the first ODI of the series as well in Hyderabad. India was reduced to 99 for 4 when Dhoni joined hands with Jadhav and stitched an unbroken 144-run stand to give India a 1-0. Dhoni finished the game with an unbeaten 59 as Jadhav scored 81.
