Team India is all set to take on Sri Lanka in the first ODI in the Dharamsala on Sunday.

Although the hosts will be without the services of regular skipper Virat Kohli, the Men In Blue will fancy their chances of blanking the Lankan lions in the three-match series.

The two teams have been sweating it out at the picturesque Dhauladhar range in preparation for the first ODI. And if news coming in from the Indian camp is to be believed, the hosts seemed to have found another lethal pacer to torment the Lankans with.

 

That man is none other than Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Yes, you read that right.

In a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on it's official Twitter handle on Saturday, MSD can be seen bowling some top-class seam-up deliveries. Axar Patel, who had the honour of facing Dhoni in the nets, is beaten multiple times by the immaculate deliveries from the former captain.

Dhoni, having been a wicket-keeper throughout his career, never misses a chance to roll his arm over. Be it at the end of an intense practice session or during a dead match, MSD has often been seen marking his run-up. To be honest, the legendary cricketer isn't too bad with the ball in hand. He has decent pace, which he combines with accurate line and length.

 

"Is there anything that @msdhoni cannot do? You have seen him bowl leg spin now it is time for seam up," tweeted BCCI on Saturday.

Here's the tweet

As if the Lankans didn't have enough to worry about, here comes more!
