New Delhi: Far away from the limelight, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was spotted playing volleyball with his group of friends in the Maldives as Team India get ready to take on New Zealand in the ODI series after 5-0 T20I series victory.

A video of Dhoni playing volleyball went viral on social media. The former India captain was seen wearing a black T-shirt and enjoying his time on the beach with friends.

MS Dhoni's career in a nutshell

The most talked-about issue in Indian cricket recently has been about when Dhoni will be back on the field.

While there have been murmurs that the Ranchi stumper must retire as he will find it difficult to make a comeback, India opener Rohit Sharma recently said Dhoni is the best skipper the country has had.

"MS Dhoni is the one who has been like that. It's in-born. It has helped him to make such good decisions on the field and now you see he is the most successful Indian captain with all three ICC trophies with him and many IPL titles as well. He is the best captain India has seen and there's a reason behind it - which is being calm and composed under a situation," Rohit said in one of the episodes of Curly Tales.

Dhoni has resumed practice recently

Even after Virat Kohli took over the captaincy duties, Dhoni continued to be a key member in the decision-making team and was a guide for the fast bowlers. Elaborating on this, the dashing Mumbai batsman said: "I have seen him handle a lot of young bowlers when they get under pressure, he just goes and puts his arm around them and talks to them about what needs to be done."

Dhoni has been away from the game since India's exit in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup and that has led to questions being raised about whether he will make a comeback or not.
