MS Dhoni’s records as the captain in Tests are being broken at will by his successor Virat Kohli. The latter has already overtaken him as the most successful India captain in the long format by winning the 28th match. And now, Virat Kohli has eclipsed Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s record of leading India to the most number of consecutive Test matches — six.
With India thrashing Bangladesh by an innings and 46 runs in Kolkata on Sunday, Kohli has now led India to seven back-to-back wins in Tests, one more than Dhoni’s record made in 2013 against Australia and the West Indies.
However, Dhoni is little touched by losing one more record. The 38-year-old continues to have extended break from international cricket and recently, the ace wicketkeeper was seen sharing batting tips with a friend at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) Stadium in Ranchi, his home town.
Wearing a gray-colored shirt and lower and a blue cap, Dhoni was seen giving the tips of hitting the ball by stepping out to his friend. He was also demonstrating the bat lift. His official fans’ club posted the video on Twitter on Saturday.
MS Dhoni hasn’t played international cricket since World Cup
Although he has been away from Team India’s international assignments since the semi-final of the ICC World Cup against New Zealand at Old Trafford that the Men in Blue lost closely, Dhoni has been in the discussions. He hasn’t yet called it quits from international cricket unlike many had thought and it has left the selectors, team management and fans guessing about his next plan.
Dhoni has not made himself available for a number of series since the World Cup (against the West Indies, South Africa, Bangladesh) and with the selectors not bringing him back for the upcoming home series against the Caribbeans, Dhoni will not be seen in international cricket in 2019 again.
The focus is now whether he makes it to the 2020 T20 World Cup to be held in Australia as India are yet to settle on his successors. The man led India to two World Cup wins in 2007 (T20Is) and 2011 (ODIs).
