WATCH: Dhoni's video will definitely scare 'Steyn-less' Proteas

Dhoni’s keenness to improve his skills and remain intensely involved in the game is the reason why the former India captain has been able to play cricket for so many years.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted a video of in-form MS Dhoni was seen smashing different length deliveries all over and out of the park. The two-time World Cup winner is in brilliant form, something which will hurt the ‘low on confidence’ more than it ever could, especially with senior speedster Dale Steyn ruled out of the tournament due to a shoulder injury. The ‘Men in Blue’, led by Kohli and mentored by Dhoni, has had its share of good results and six wins in nine games would ensure a smooth passage into the semi-finals.

There's no doubt that the Proteas are badly hit by poor form and injuries but it may just take one fiery spell from Kagiso Rabada to straighten things up. A bit of help from the weather conditions with his scorching pace and ability to move the ball, Rabada could just unsettle the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, who haven't had the best of times during the past few months.
