Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018: MS Dhoni Set to Play for Jharkhand in Quarters

Here comes the exciting news for MS Dhoni fans. The stalwart player in Indian cricket is all set to play for Jharkhand in the quarters of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni has confirmed his participation to the Indian board as well.

MS Dhoni to be back for Jharkhand

However, Jharkhand had already qualified for the quarterfinal after finishing top in the group stages of the tournament. They finished with seven victories in nine games, which is the highest for any team in their group.

Also, they are scheduled to take on Maharashtra in the 3rd Quarter-final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2018. The match is catalogued to be played on October 15th at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore, the venue which gave many memorable records for MS Dhoni.

Meanwhile, it is intriguing to see where MS Dhoni would play for the team. Jharkhand has already got the services of Ishan Kishan, as the wicketkeeper-batsman for the team, who is also carrying the captaincy burden as well.

With MS Dhoni heading into the game, probably, Ishan Kishan will leave out the glovework to the big man. It will also be interesting to see whether Jharkhand will continue Ishan Kishan as the skipper or ask MS Dhoni to lead the side.

Rohit Sharma will also be available for Mumbai

Meanwhile, the vice-captain of Indian team Rohit Sharma will also make his way to feature for Mumbai in the quarter-final clash. However, Rohit Sharma wasn’t named in the ongoing Test series against the Windies, which gives him a chance to play for Mumbai.

The match is set to be played on October 15th at Just Cricket Academy, Bangalore. Bihar, who surprised one and all with their stunning cricket in the group stage will be their opponents. However, it is a good sign to see stalwart players playing the domestic tournament.
