India veteran MS Dhoni has been relaxing and making the most of his spare time as the Men in Blue battling are out against Bangladesh in the 3-match T20I series.
Dhoni was spotted enjoying his time with a Tennis racket in his hand instead of a cricket bat at Country Cricket Club Tennis Tournament at JSCA Stadium in Ranchi on Friday.
The 38-year-old paired up with Sumit Kumar, a local tennis player, and went on to secure a comfortable win in their first match of the tournament.

MSD was seen wearing a T-shirt with a ‘balidan symbol’ on it for the match. Earlier, during the 2019 World Cup in England, he had to give up his wicket-keeping gloves, which had the same logo. It was against the cricket rules as ICC mentioned back then.
