As India gears up for the three-match ODI series against South Africa, starting Sunday at the JSCA International Cricket Stadium, an emotional moment in Ranchi captured widespread attention. Several Indian players, including Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Ruturaj Gaikwad, visited MS Dhoni at his residence on Thursday, sparking excitement across social media and adding a sentimental touch to the team’s preparations.
Kohli’s visit drew particular enthusiasm, given his long and successful association with Dhoni. The duo, known for forming one of Indian cricket’s most memorable partnerships, reunited warmly as Dhoni greeted Kohli and welcomed him inside. Their bond, built through years of trust and shared triumphs, was evident in the viral visuals from the meet-up.
Pant and Gaikwad also called on the former India captain, continuing the tradition of players visiting Dhoni whenever matches bring them to Ranchi. Pant, who has often spoken of Dhoni as a mentor, arrived with teammates, while Gaikwad, a core member of Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings, shared an easy rapport with his IPL leader.
