Time and again, MS Dhoni has proved that he is one of the best cricketers the Indian Team has ever got and there is no doubt about his skills as an absolute star. However, with new and young talent joining the squad, there have been times when critics have jumped on the opportunity to compare Dhoni with the newcomers.
But leave it to Dhoni to prove all his critics wrong.
Well-known for his obsession with being extremely fit, he proved that newcomers probably have nothing on him when it comes to fitness. And that includes youngsters like Hardik Pandya.
Ahead of the 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka in Mohali, the Indian Cricket Team performed their warm-up routines. Pretty usual right?
But what was unusual was seeing Hardik Pandya and Dhoni heading for a 100-metre sprint with the latter outpacing the former.
BCCI tweeted a video showing the two running and asked the audience as to who they think won.
Pandya who is just 24 years old and is 12 years younger than Dhoni could not keep up with the former captain as for a short while, Dhoni was ahead of the youngster.
Soon after the video went viral, Dhoni’s fans were more than shocked and could not stop raving about him and his fitness.
