After participating in nonstop cricket since the Twenty20 World Cup, the players of the Indian cricket team are currently enjoying a rest that is well deserved. They just finished off a two-Test series against Bangladesh with a victory, and since then, some of the players have gone back to their own countries while others have gone on vacation.
Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper-batter for India, was recently photographed with MS Dhoni, the former captain of India, in Dubai.
The World Cup-winning captain and Pant were among the people in a snapshot that MSD’s wife Sakshi Dhoni uploaded on Instagram with the caption “To many more EPIC nights!” Sakshi Dhoni is married to MSD, who is a cricketer.
Pant will not be playing for India in the One-Day International or Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka that will begin on January 3.
Quite a few users commented on Pant and Dhoni being shot together.
“Yeh Pant ek din mein Dubai aa gaya?” wrote one user.
“Pant is doing a fantastic job as the wicketkeeper for India. The reason for this is that he has never abandoned Mahi bhai “wrote another participant.
Hardik Pandya, a premier all-rounder, was selected on Tuesday as India’s Twenty20 International (T20I) captain for the upcoming three-match series against Sri Lanka. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma will continue to serve as India’s captain for the ODI series. Both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are not playing in the shortest format of the tournament.
Pandya’s promotion is a significant one because he has also been appointed as Rohit’s deputy for the One-Day Internationals against Sri Lanka. On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav has been promoted to the position of vice-captain in Twenty20 Internationals due to his phenomenal performance over the past year.
After India’s defeat to England in the semi-finals of the Twenty20 World Cup, Pandya, who had previously led Gujarat Titans to victory in the Indian Premier League, was rumoured to be a potential replacement for Rohit.
The Twenty20 International team has a new look because to the inclusion of two uncapped pacers, Shivam Mavi and Mukesh Kumar, in the shorter format of the game. Mavi was purchased by the Titans for the price of Rs. 6 crore, and Mukesh was acquired by the Delhi Capitals for the price of Rs. 5.50 crore.
Two of the most dominant players from the Indian Premier League, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rahul Tripathi, have been selected for the Twenty20 International squad. The return of Mohammed Shami from his shoulder injury has given the One-Day International team an appearance of greater experience.
