The video that was uploaded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has gone viral on social media.
In viral video, Dhoni was seen trying to copying master blaster bowling action in the nets.
India will look to pile on the misery for a struggling Australia and seal the five-match series when they take on the Steve Smith-led side in the third ODI.
Though, Dhoni is not a regular bowler but notably, he has bowled 16 overs in Test cricket and six in ODIs.
Here is the viral video:

The sun was shining brightly over Indore on the eve of the match after the grounds-men were forced to keep the field under covers for two days due to scattered rainfall in the region. The pitch looked fresh, and the locals predicted a belter of a track and a potentially high-scoring contest.
After losing the first two matches, the visitors are desperately looking for a solid start at the top to register a win and keep the series alive.
The visitors were tormented by spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in both the matches so far, and though both Smith and David Warner denied having too many problems against them, the numbers suggest otherwise.
