WC 2019: Dhoni's warm-up ton the lucky charm Virat Kohli needs

By Saurabh Sharma May 29, 2019 • 10:39 AM View: 1335

New Delhi, May 29 (CRICKETNMORE): It was a vintage Dhoni on display against Bangladesh in the second warm-up game as he scored a brilliant hundred and helped India register a morale-boosting 95-run win at the Sophia Gardens before the World Cup opener.

On Tuesday, Dhoni, who came into bat when India were in a spot with 102/4, smashed a 78-ball 113, which contained seven sixes and helped his team post a gigantic 359/7. It was only poetic justice that he brought up his 100 with a six in the 49th over of the innings as skipper Kohli cheered on from the dressing room with teammates for company.
