Watch: MS Dhoni, Kohli burst out laughing after MS misses a catch
Seasoned wicket-keeper MS Dhoni opted not to be a part of the major part of the proceedings on the day.
Team India managed to thoroughly outplay their opposition, Bangladesh, in their second warm-up match ahead of the Champions Trophy. The Virat Kohli-led side registered a thumping 240 run win over the Bangladeshi camp to announce their supremacy in the coming tournament. After having been asked to bat first, India posted a mammoth total of 324 sans the services of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Yuvraj Singh.
It was some splendid batting from Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya that saw India reign supreme with the bat. Karthik was retired out on 94 and Pandya scored an unbeaten 80 that came off quick time. The target was never going to be easy but was certainly chasable considering the recent trends in the English conditions. However, the Bangladeshi camp made a mockery of the run chase.
Indian pacers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Shami in particular, wreaked havoc to reduce the Bangladeshi team to 22/6 at one stage. They eventually bundled out 324 to give the Indians a thumping 240 run win. Interestingly, the role of the wicket-keeper was taken by Dinesh Karthik in the match. Seasoned wicket-keeper MS Dhoni opted not to be a part of the major part of the proceedings on the day.
Dhoni walks into the frame
But one cannot simply rule him out of action. Dhoni walked into the field amidst loud cheers and reception midway through the Bangladeshi innings. He soon found himself in an awkward position in the field. He dropped a catch and that resulted in the players sharing a big laugh about it.
The action perspired on the first ball of the 24th over. Bangladesh were reeling on 83/9 and India needed one more wicket to seal the game. Hardik Pandya bowled a good length ball to Sunzamul Islam. The batsman had a wild hoick at it as the ball went in the direction of the short third man. MS Dhoni ran around the ball and looked like in control of the ball judgment. However, he ended up making a mess out of it as he missed it totally. Virat Kohli was seen laughing out loud at the moment and so was Dhoni.
