KNews Desk: The bonding between former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is not hidden from anyone. Apart from the field, there is a good friendship between the two even outside the field. Now a video of both is going viral on social media, in which Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni are seen partying with friends. However, the authenticity of this video and the place and time it was recorded have not been independently verified.
In the clip going viral, Rishabh Pant is seen sitting on a sofa with some people. The atmosphere of the video looks like a hotel room. Whereas, Dhoni is seen in the background. After getting the photo clicked, Dhoni is seen shaking hands with Pant and saying something. Meanwhile, his mention of 'coming after smoking hookah' has become a topic of discussion on social media.
Beer cans and cocktails are also seen on the table in the video. Looking at it, it appears to be a video of a private party. However, it is not clear about the viral clip as to when and where it was shot. In such a situation, before accepting any claim related to the video as fact, it is necessary to verify it.
The discussion about Dhoni's hookah has come up earlier also.
The issue of MS Dhoni smoking hookah has been discussed in the cricket world before also. Former Australian captain George Bailey had mentioned this habit of Dhoni during an interview. He had told that Dhoni liked hookah and he often arranged for it in his room. According to Bailey, Dhoni's room used to become a kind of informal meeting place for the young players of the team.
Former Chennai Super Kings star Michael Hussey has also talked about the atmosphere of Dhoni's hotel room. According to him, Dhoni's hotel room would often become an informal lounge for the team players, where the players would sit together and spend time with each other.
Pant's brilliant performance in Sri Lanka series
Rishabh Pant was recently seen playing in the two-Test series against Sri Lanka. During this, he scored 168 runs in three innings at an average of 56. Pant scored two half-centuries in the series, which included an inning of 66 runs in the second innings of the Galle Test.
Now Pant's next red-ball assignment will be against New Zealand. In such a situation, along with his performance, cricket fans are also keeping an eye on this clip going viral with Dhoni. However, since there is no official confirmation regarding the video, the claims related to it should be viewed with caution.
