Former Indian captain MS Dhoni may be a destructive batsman and in the Cuttack ODI wrecked havoc on the English bowlers, hitting 134 off 122 balls, but on Saturday in an optional training session, a 17-year-old second division player from Kolkata left him embarrassed.

India had an optional practice session at the Eden Gardens where the third and final T20 will be played on Sunday afternoon. Captain Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh skipped the optional training session.  Dhoni spent a lot of times on the net and it was that Agnibesh Paul cleaned up the most successful captain with ease, reported Xtratime.com.

Dhoni himself was stunned by the delivery as he congratulated Paul for his line and length. “Great bowling, your line, and length is perfect, keep it up,” said Dhoni to the teenager who plays for Gurudas Institute in the 2nd division CAB league.

Paul couldn’t hold his emotions as he said, “I am delighted to have castled Dhoni, earlier I had dismissed Gautam Gambhir at KKR practice and Ajinkya Rahane during Pune Supergiants’ practice at the Eden Gardens.” Also read- (Is AB de Villiers planning to sign a Kolpak deal to secure his financial future?)

Dhoni in the absence of captain Kohli and coach Anil Kumble inspected the pitch and talked with the locals to know about the trends. He also has had a discussion with the junior players and former Bengal cricketer Devang Gandhi.

In the last two ODIs India have won by three wickets and 15 runs respectively. Now wining the third ODI India would like to add more woe to the England side before the T20I series.
