MS Dhoni to play under Aaron's captaincy

India’s limited overs captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be playing under pacer Varun Aaron’s captaincy for Jharkhand in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Jharkhand are placed in Group B and will play their opening match against Jammu & Kashmir on December 10, in Bangalore.

As per reports, Dhoni was offered the captaincy in the 50-over format but the World Cup winning captain preferred to play as a normal player.

Dhoni’s last appearance for Jharkhand, in any format (the T20), was in April 2007, soon after the disastrous World Cup.
