Watch | MS Dhoni trains Jasprit Bumrah for death over bowling
MS Dhoni might have stepped down as the captain of the Indian cricket team but that hasn't stopped him from imparting his experience to youngsters. In a video doing the rounds online, the 35-year-old is seen training Jasprit Bumrah on where to bowl during the death overs to restrict the run flow.
The Indian team has struggled to stop the rapid flow of runs in the last overs in the ongoing series against England. The Men in Blue have conceded 115, 91, and 96 runs respectively in the three ODIs in the last ten overs of the innings.
While Virat Kohli has said that he expected the death bowling to improve in the three-match T20 series, MS Dhoni appears to have taken matters into his own hands as he trained India's death bowling expert on how to bowl at the end of the innings.
The more T20s we play, we will get better at death bowling in the ODIs. That will be our advantage

In the video, Dhoni keeps a ball deep outside the off stump as a target for Bumrah to bowl on. Bumrah, however, misses the target as Dhoni slices every ball on the offside side.
India are scheduled to play three T20 matches against England next. The first match will be played on January 26 in Kanpur, while Nagpur (Jan 29) and Bengaluru (Feb 1) will host the remainder of the matches.
