Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni is arguably the most popular face in Indian cricket at the moment. Despite stepping down as the skipper of the national side, Dhoni still enjoys a great fan following. This was evident when the Indian team walked into the Eden Gardens on the eve of the final ODI against England. The team reached the ground for their practice session and net sessions. A good sizeable crowd was seen flogging the stadium. They expectantly searched for the big players in the nets and cheered every shot played by them.

Much to their disappointment, two of India’s leading players – Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh – opted to miss the practice session. However, the crowds were more than just delighted to see MS Dhoni at the nets. Dhoni played with flair but was dismissed once during the net session. A net bowler from Sealdah managed to get through his defenses on the day. It was 17-year old Agnibesh Paul, who managed to dismantle the wooden work of Dhoni.

After the net session, MS Dhoni was seen having a word with the bowler. As per quotes in Xtratime.in, Dhoni congratulated the bowler as he quoted, “great bowling, your line and length is perfect, keep it up”. Agnibesh Paul is a club cricketer who plays for Gurudas Institute in the 2nd division in the CAB league.

A jubilant Agnibesh later expressed his excitement too. He quoted, “I am delighted to have bowled out Dhoni, earlier I have bowled out Gautam Gambhir at KKR practice and Ajinkya Rahane during Pune Supergiants practice at the Eden Gardens.”

Yet another interesting moment from the day’s play was when a group of girls were chanting for Dhoni. He acknowledged their chants and waved in their direction. Overwhelmed by the gesture of the former skipper, the girls apparently started crying out of excitement and happiness!
