After a thumping loss in the fourth ODI, India will look to come back stronger in the next fixture.

The Men in Blues are back to training on the eve of the fifth game at Port Elizabeth. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni was seen bowling at the training sessions.

Further, India is on the verge of winning their first series in South Africa. Currently, India leads the series 3-1 with two matches still to play. India looked in line to secure the series in fourth game; however, was suffered a blow after Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller guided South Africa home.

South Africa won the rain-affected encounter by five wickets.

Further, India had a bad at business, as they made an array of mistakes on the field. South Africa also found an answer to India’s wrist spinners during the Pink ODI, already boosted by the return of AB de Villiers.

However, India will look to shrug off the failure and look forward to the next fixture. On the eve of the penultimate game, Indian cricketers gave it all the nets.

In a recent post made by BCCI from their official twitter handle, Dhoni bowled some leg-spins, as Dinesh Karthik was batting at the nets. Dhoni bowled alongside Axar Patel, who is yet to get a game in this series. Patel lost his place, as Kuldeep Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal proved vital for India.

Some left-arm spin from @akshar2026 and slow leggies from @msdhoni. It’s all happening at the spinner’s nets #TeamIndia #SAvIND,” BCCI tweeted.

Dhoni bowled some good line and length and looked comfortable with the ball.

Meanwhile, Dhoni scored a well made 42* in the last, but it went in vain. India needs him to fire again to pocket the series in the next game.
