MS Dhoni plays maiden golf tournament in America; secures second position

MS Dhoni plays maiden golf tournament: The legendary Indian wicket-keeper batsman was recently seen playing golf in America.

Former India captain and current wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s status is such that he remains in the news despite him not playing cricket since the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

While Dhoni missed the West Indies tour due to his training for the parachute regiment of the Indian Army in Kashmir valley, there is no official reason why he missed the South Africa T20Is.

While a large section of people want Dhoni to play international cricket, there is also a section which wants him to retire citing him no longer being the player that he once was at the highest level.

One of India captain Virat Kohli’s tweet acted as fuel to fire regardng Dhoni’s retirement in such a manner that MSK Prasad and Sakshi Dhoni had to clear the air regarding Dhoni’s retirement.

The 38-year old cricketer has recently defeated Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar and India captain Virat Kohli in the list of most admired men in India. Another reason why Dhoni is doing the rounds today is photos os him playing golf in America going viral across social media platforms.

It is believed that Rajiv Sharma, a friend of Dhoni, introduced him to the club three years ago. In what was his maiden golf tournament as an honorary member of the Metuchen Golf and Country Club, Dhoni left an impact over there as well.

Having achieved several milestones in cricket, Dhoni has started his golf career on a special note after winning four out of five matches. It is also reported that Dhoni secured second position in the tournament.
