Dhoni playing final ODI against Pakistan doubtful

NEW DELHI: India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni may miss the final ODI match against Pakistan to be played on Sunday, due to backache, Geo News reported.

Having conceded the 3-match series to the visitors after losing the opening two clashes in Chennai and Kolkata respectively, the final match is being looked at as a chance to save face.

The Indian players on Saturday were seen training hard under the watchful eyes of Saba Karim and Vikram Rathoure.

The two selectors also reportedly spoke separately to Dhoni and Virender Sehwag ahead of the third match.
