Meanwhile, MS Dhoni made him unavailable from cricket since India’s ouster from the semifinals of the ICC World Cup. The cricketer from Ranchi had poor returns in the premier tournament in England and decide to take a sabbatical. During this period, the veteran cricketer worked with the Army in the month of August.

He also played an amateur golf tournament in the USA and took part in a charity football match. He recently started his training in Ranchi with Jharkhand’s U-23 team but is unlikely to return to action soon.
