Meanwhile, Dhoni has been on a sabbatical since the conclusion of grueling India Premier League season and the 2019 World Cup. At an event in Mumbai on Wednesday, the ace wicket-keeper said "January tak mat pooch (don't ask me till January)" before questions on his sabbatical could be asked from him.
The 38-year-old missed the West Indies tour and home series against South Africa and Bangladesh. Some days back, Dhoni was seen training with Jharkhand's under-23 team in Ranchi, triggering speculations that he would return to the field ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.
