MS Dhoni is one of the captains in the history of the game. He is, arguably, the greatest finisher in One Day International (ODI) cricket. He is one of the best wicketkeepers ever. He is also one of the most loved and respected cricketers in the world.
And, now, he is also one of the best footballers in India. In the Celebrity Clasico between Indian cricket stars and B-Town celebrities, MS Dhoni outplayed every other player on the field.
Dhoni’s batting and wicket-keeping skills aren’t hidden from anyone, but on Sunday, MS Dhoni stunned one and all by scoring from a direct free-kick in the 2017 Celebrity Clasico match for All Hearts FC.
Before the match, Virat Kohli had said that Dhoni is very excited about the game and preparing well. And, what he said was absolute true as Dhoni did not waste any time and open the tally for All Hearts FC in the 7th minute from long-range, though the ball did take a deflection before finding the back of the net.
MS Dhoni curled over the opposition wall a perfectly taken free-kick, which with filmstars’ goalkeeper Mark Robinson had no answer.
