Indian Test captain Virat Kohli is busy making strategies to bring England to its knees. India’s ODI captain MS Dhoni, meanwhile, is busy playing in Spain. Yes, you heard it right. He is playing cricket in Spain where people are more concerned about the fate of Real Madrid than cricket. But, MS Dhoni batted and hit shots.
MS Dhoni was not playing a professional tournament or a league. He had gone to grace a cricket club with his presence in Spain. Dhoni looked completely in a holiday mood. He was wearing a t-shirt and normal sports shoes. He was playing with tennis ball and offering good defensive and offensive cricket shots.
A cricket club in Spain named Madrid Cricket Club tweeted these pictures yesterday.
