[WATCH] MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya dance to tune of Kala Chashma ft. Badshah

After guiding Team India to a 1-0 win in the recently concluded T20I series in New Zealand, Hardik Pandya enjoyed some light moments with former India captain MS Dhoni.

In a video that has surfaced online, the two IPL-winning captains can be seen grooving to the popular tune of 'Kala Chashma' featuring singer and rapper Badshah.

Watch the video below:

For the uninitiated, Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Pandya shares a great camaraderie with his Chennai Super Kings (CSK) counterpart Dhoni. He often shares pictures and videos with the legendary wicketkeeper batter.

Pandya led from the front in the recently concluded T20I decider with his quickfire unbeaten 18 off 30, including a six and three fours, to help the Men in Blue recover from 21-3. His contribution helped India reach the DLS par score of 74/4 in nine overs and tie the game against New Zealand in the rain-affected game.

India had won the second T20I by 65 runs, courtesy of a century from Suryakumar Yadav, while the opening T20I was abandoned due to rain. Pandya has been rested for the ongoing ODI series in New Zealand and the upcoming ODIs against Bangladesh next month.

Meanwhile, Team India will next be in action in the third and final ODI against New Zealand in Christchurch on Wednesday (November 30). In the first ODI, Shikhar Dhawan and Co. lost by seven wickets. The second game in Hamilton got abandoned due to rain.
