On a long sabbatical from cricket, MS Dhoni was recently spotted at an event humming to an iconic Hindi song from the 90s era. The former Indian captain, who has not played a single game post the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, has been on a long break from Indian cricket keeping himself busy on other things. Dhoni was recently seen hitting the nets at the Ranchi Cricket Stadium after his return from the Parachute army regiment but has stayed away from making any comments about his future prospects in cricket or return to the Indian team. Most recently, a short video clip of the wicket-keeper batsman singing at an event went viral on the internet with Dhoni drawing applause for his talent. MS Dhoni Flaunts His Singing Skills on a Karaoke Mic During a Party in Ranchi (Watch Video).
