There’s already a buzz going around about tomorrow’s match in Ranchi. KL Rahul basically teased fans about MS Dhoni showing up at the stadium. The captain didn’t confirm anything, but his words got everyone excited about the IND vs SA ODI.
Hoping for Dhoni’s Presence Tomorrow
KL Rahul didn’t beat around the bush when reporters asked about MS Dhoni. He said straight up that the whole squad wants to see Captain Cool. Having Dhoni watching from the stands would be absolutely electric for everyone there.
This is MS Dhoni’s backyard we’re talking about here in Ranchi. The crowd goes absolutely mental whenever their hero even steps into JSCA Stadium. KL Rahul knows that playing well for Dhoni and these fans means everything.
“We all respected him as a human being. If he comes to watch the match, along with the crowd, we will get more excited. Hopefully, we can win the game, put up a good performance and entertain the crowd. MS Dhoni will also feel happy that we won the game,” Rahul said.
Even though he’s retired now, MS Dhoni still inspires so many cricketers today. KL Rahul talked warmly about their friendship and how much Dhoni’s guidance matters. Just the other day, Dhoni had Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant meet over for dinner.
Learning from Rohit and Virat
KL Rahul also spoke glowingly about having Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli around. These veterans bring incredible positivity and confidence into the dressing room atmosphere. Their presence lifts everyone’s spirits after that disappointing Test series loss recently.
Both Rohit and Kohli return to home soil after good times in Australia. KL Rahul emphasized the need to forget past failures and focus forward. The IND vs SA ODI series offers a perfect chance for redemption now.
Rahul specifically mentioned Kohli’s brilliant strike rotation abilities in ODI cricket consistently. Young players learn constantly by watching how Kohli and Rohit operate under pressure. Their recent strong performances in Australia show they’ve still got it completely.
“Taking singles is as important as hitting boundaries. That’s something Virat has done so well in his career. In the dressing room, we talk with him about how to improve. He is the master of ODI cricket. Good to have him back in the dressing room,” Rahul stated.
Fresh Start in Ranchi
The three-match series begins November 30 at Ranchi’s JSCA International Stadium Complex. Matches then move to Raipur and Visakhapatnam for the remaining two games. Several key players miss out due to injuries and rest requirements unfortunately.
But KL Rahul feels confident about the squad selected for this series. MS Dhoni’s potential attendance adds extra motivation for everyone involved tomorrow.
