While MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket in 2020, he continues to guide the younger guns of the national team.
He was seen catching up with the likes of Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant after the Men in Blue's 49-run victory over the English side at Edgbaston.
The 41-year-old was also roped in for a mentorship role by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for Team India's T20 World Cup 2021 campaign.
The seasoned campaigner was last seen in action during this year's Indian Premier League (IPL 2022). Much to the delight of his fans, the Ranchi-born cricketer has confirmed that he will participate in the next season of the cash-rich league as well.
England eye a consolation win in the 3rd T20I against India

At the time of writing, England are 150/3 after the completion of 15 overs. Dawid Malan struck a fine half-century and is still at the crease.
The Indian bowlers will have to bowl tidy spells in the death overs to ensure they don't have to chase an imposing total.
