In 2013, Indian cricket team skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni displayed his footballing skills as he scored a goal during a friendly match. He played a 35-minute friendly football match at former deputy chief minister Sudesh Mahto’s assembly constituency. He teamed up with Mahto to play against a local soccer academy team at the Silli stadium.
Dhoni and Mahto scored a goal each as their team swept past their young rivals 4–1 in the friendly tie before a capacity crowd.
Their counterpart team was led by the young player of Hazaribagh Aakash Raghuvanshi and Sumit Kerketta.
