Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf was over the moon after receiving a "beautiful gift" from former India skipper MS Dhoni.

While Rauf never got a chance to play against Dhoni, he was in Pakistan's playing XI when the two teams met in the T20 World Cup Super 12 stage last year.
Notably, the veteran wicketkeeper-batter was part of India's backroom staff. Pakistan had defeated India by 10 wickets in that game at the Dubai International Stadium.
Dhoni, who had announced his retirement from international cricket in August 2020, will now be seen in action during the upcoming 15th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
