While MS Dhoni declared his retirement from international cricket in 2020, he remained to guide the younger guns of the national team.
He was seen spotting with the likes of Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant after the Men in Blue’s 49-run win over the English side at Edgbaston.
The 41-year-old was also secured in for a mentorship role by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for Team India’s T20 World Cup 2021 campaign.
The experienced campaigner was last seen in action during this year’s Indian Premier League (TATA IPL 2022). Much to the delight of his fans, the Ranchi-born cricketer has established that he will also participate in the upcoming season of the cash-rich league.
England eye a consolation victory in the third T20I against India
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian side has exhibited tremendous form in the T20I series against England. They have already scored an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series by victory in the first 2-fixtures.
The hosts will be targeted to salvage some pride by registering a win in the final encounter. At the same time, Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to bat first in the match.
A 12th IT20 fifty for @dmalan29! 👏

At that time of writing, England is 150/3 after completing 15 overs. Dawid Malan struck a fine half-century and is quiet at the crease.
The Indian bowlers will have to bowl tidy spells in the killing overs to secure they don’t have to chase an impressive total.
