Mahendra Singh (MS) Dhoni’s farmhouse in Ranchi was the unofficial team hub on Thursday night, as Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Ruturaj Gaikwad were spotted arriving for a private dinner ahead of the first ODI against South Africa. The JSCA Stadium will host the first of the three ODIs on November 30. There was nothing ceremonial or publicly planned about the gathering, but it quickly became the most talked-about moment of India’s arrival in the city.
Kohli, fresh off a flight from London, headed straight to Dhoni’s residence a day after. He did it after some hours of practice alongside Rohit Sharma and the Indian team. A few hours later, Dhoni himself drove Kohli back, and fan-shot videos of him at the wheel outside the team hotel set the internet on fire. Meanwhile, Pant and Gaikwad were also seen heading in earlier.
