Former Indian captain MS Dhoni was seen playing (pickleball or tennis) with Rishabh Pant in Dubai after the conclusion of the IPL 2024 auction. Pant was with the Delhi Capitals (DC) table in the auction and also lifted the paddle on multiple occasions during the bidding.
He is sure to return to action during IPL 2024 as DC’s captain as his recovery is going well. Pant has been on the sidelines throughout this year due to injuries he suffered in an accident last December. South is currently rehabilitating and will return to the field next year.
MS Dhoni was in Dubai but did not attend the auction along with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) representatives. A fan took to X and shared a video to give everyone a glimpse of Dhoni and Pant’s fun activities in Dubai. The duo can be seen in the video playing a game similar to tennis. However, a few netizens felt that it was just a small ball game.
