MS Dhoni plays cricket in Leh with kids

This is not the first time, this month, when Dhoni's actions have been grabbing eyeballs.

On August 4, Dhoni was seen playing volleyball with his Indian Territorial Army battalion.

The video of the same had gone viral on social media.

While the location of the same was not disclosed, he was seen playing the sport in a normal dress, rather than army uniform.

Dhoni was ranked Honorary Lieutenant Colonel by the Indian Territorial Army in 2011. He remains only the second Indian cricketer after Kapil Dev to receive the rank.

Meanwhile, it was reported last month that Dhoni had decided to take a break from cricket to serve the army.

As a result, he did not participate in India's just-concluded white-ball series against the Windies.

While the fans are curious to know when would Dhoni return to resuming his duties with Team India, there has not been any confirmation on that part as of now.

However, it is being reckoned that Dhoni might join the team during the upcoming series against South Africa, starting September 15.

In his absence, Rishabh Pant was given an opportunity to prove his mettle.
