#Sakshi & @msdhoni’s daughter #Ziva is a genius & an entertainer. She can really sing loudly, including our #NationalAnthem. God bless her. pic.twitter.com/CFqEvfh93I — Anupam Kher (@AnupamPkher) October 3, 2017

Dhoni, who stepped down as India's limited-overs captain in January, continues to weave his magic. In the just-concluded ODI series against Australia, he proved his detractors wrong by playing brilliant knocks.

India won the five-match series 4-1. The rivalry will continue in T20Is, with the first of the three matches scheduled to be played in Ranchi on Saturday (October 7).

India, currently ranked fifth in T20Is, need to win the series 3-0 to climb up to the second spot. Virat Kohli & Co are already the No. 1 team in Test and ODI rankings.
