Twitter Reactions: MS Dhoni caught sleeping at Chennai airport

Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni was spotted taking a nap while Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and the rest of the Indian team appeared relaxed at the Chennai airport en route Kolkata on Monday. The BCCI took to Twitter and shared pictures of Kohli’s men while in transit and the fans could keep their calm on seeing the images. Dhoni was caught wearing shades as he leaned on his bag to relax after his team’s win the previous night.

A few weeks back while India was touring Sri Lanka, Dhoni decided to take a quick nap during the middle of a match. In the 3rd ODI, the game was disrupted by the Lankan fans in Colombo. Dhoni broke the internet as he took a nap while the game was halted.

Coming back to the game, the all-rounder and his senior partner put up an impeccable 118-run stand for the sixth wicket to bail India out of trouble and script a memorable win over Australia in the first ODI at the Chepauk stadium. The duo combined brilliantly to ensure a comfortable 26-run victory over the visitors in the rain-curtailed game.

Courtesy Pandya’s blistering career-best 66-ball 83 and Dhoni’s 79 off 88 balls, India posted a competitive 281 for seven despite losing the top half for less than 100 after opting to bat. Dhoni added another clinical 72 runs for the seventh wicket with Bhuvneshwar Kumar which took India to a competitive total that looked unlikely at the halfway stage.

However intermittent showers during the break played spoilsport as Australia were set a revised target of 164 off 21 overs via Duckworth-Lewis Stern method.

The bowling department pulled up a tidy work as well with Yuzvendra Chahal claiming 3 scalps to his name. The wrist spinner dismissed Glenn Maxwell, who was hitting the ball to every corner of the park. Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya took two wickets each to assure the Men in Blue a victory.

How sleep deprived is Dhoni? On field, off field he seems to be leaving no chance of catching a power nap, go!
