RANCHI: He has quit longest format five years back but local boy Mahendra Singh Dhoni is expected to watch the third and final Test against South Africa beginning here Saturday, his manager Mihir Diwakar confirmed.
“Mahi will definitely come and you will see him during the first day’s proceedings tomorrow. I was there with him in Mumbai and he will fly down tomorrow morning,” Dhoni’s manager and one-time Jharkhand teammate Diwakar told reporters from New Delhi.
The Jharkhand State Cricket Association president, Nafis Khan, has personally sent an invitation to Dhoni’s family.
“We have sent an invitation to his family. Yeh to unka hi stadium hai (It’s his stadium only). He is most welcome anytime,” Khan said.
However his friend, Diwakar, who is the founder of Aarka Sports that runs MS Dhoni Cricket Academy, said Dhoni is likely to come alone as the Indian team is likely to have dinner at his sprawling farmhouse in Simaliya, in outskirts of Ranchi. (AGENCIES)
