WATCH: Sushant Singh Rajput ace rapid-fire round on Dhoni’s cricket trivia
INDIA defeated New Zealand by seven-wickets to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match ODI series. Courtesy of a magnificent batting performance by Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, the hosts comfortably chased the total of 286-runs in 48.2 overs at the Punjab Cricket Association stadum, Mohali.
Meanwhile, Bollywood Actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who played the role of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the biopic ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’, too was present in the stands to witness the encounter. And it appears that the presence of the film-star was lucky for the Indian team. After India sealed the game, Sushant took to his twitter handle to share a picture with the wicket-keeper batsman

Following the match’s conclusion, the BCCI twitter handle shared a video of a rapid-fire round with Sushant, where the actor was quizzed about Dhoni’s statistics. And, you can say that the actor did a good job as he answered four out-of five questions thrown at him.
