India cricketer MS Dhoni created a buzz after he started practicing with the Jharkhand Ranji Trophy team. He is in Ranchi currently as the state team is playing Ranji Trophy match against Uttrakhand. 

A video of Dhoni from the net session was posted on social media by a fan club.

In the video, the 38-year-old, who was omitted from BCCI’s Central Contracts list, showed no sign of rustiness, as the Jharkhand head coach Rajiv Kumar had said.

"I will be honest... I thought there will be a bit of rustiness as Dhoni has not trained for quite some time. The last time we had spoken, he had said that he would start in January and here you go. He is a man of his words and it came as no surprise that he was out there training with the guys just like any other regular Jharkhand player. 

"But what surprised me most was how he middled almost every ball, be it in the pacer's net or the spinner's net. He even took throwdowns just like a player going through the batting drills does," the coach pointed.

Dhoni is gearing up for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL). He wants to make the most of it as India's head coach Ravi Shastri has already said his return to the T20I side can be possible with a good IPL season.
