A video of Dhoni meeting Team India players in the dressing room prior to the match in Ranchi was shared earlier on Thursday by the BCCI.
We get to meet Mahi bhai, so it’s nice that he’s here. We could perhaps go meet him outside the hotel. Other than that, the majority of our play over the previous month has been hotel-to-hotel.
Furthermore, whenever we get together, we try to talk about real-world issues rather than just games. While we were playing together, he taught me a lot.
Pandya informed the media following the pre-game press conference, “I have squeezed a lot out of him (knowledge), there is not much left.”
India won the toss and decided to bowl first in the game. India did not choose Yuzvendra Chahal, Jitesh, Mukesh, or Prithvi Shaw for the first game of the series.
