Mahendra Singh Dhoni was an established India star even before Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma were born. They were literally in their nappies when the legend of 'Captain Cool' was taking shape during those formative years of the Indian Premier League. But if they put hands on their hearts, neither the 19-year-old keeper-batter Kartik nor the 20-year-old left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Veer would have thought that by Tuesday evening, they would jointly walk into the record books with bank-breaking deals of Rs 14.20 crore from Chennai Super Kings. More enticing than that is the opportunity of a lifetime to share the dressing room with none other than Dhoni, already 44 and still going strong.

Suryakumar Yadav on Sunday acknowledged the shortage of runs from him but India's T20I skipper did not count it as lack of form, saying that runs will come sooner than later. Suryakumar made an 11-ball 12 in India's seven-wicket win over South Africa in the third T20I here before getting out to Lungi Ngidi.
