Legends on the business finish in their careers get ready and apply a customised blue-print to increase their longevity.
Sachin Tendulkar all through his previous couple of years in world cricket would teach all by himself on the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai and Dhoni's coaching session at NCA on Monday seemed equivalent.
He confronted masses of deliveries with 70 percent being throw-downs.
Dhoni, who took the YoYo test on June 15 with other limited overs experts, had stayed back and most likely waited for the hullabaloo around the team to die down earlier than taking the sphere.
On what would were the 5th day of the Afghanistan Test fit (had it not finished in two days), Dhoni walked inside the National Cricket Academy nets team's throw-down professional Raghu and speedster Shardul Thakur in tow.

The next two and half hours used to be an intense session with Dhoni going through Raghu's standard throw-downs from 18 yards and Thakur's deliveries in between.
It used to be two hours at a stretch and after a brief damage, he once more resumed batting and this time Siddarth Kaul additionally joined the session.
There wasn't too many people around to watch and experience a Dhoni net session.
Raghu started with same old length deliveries as he warmed up with same old knocking.
Slowly the tempo larger and the veteran used to be peppered with quick balls which reared from back of the length. He gingerly defended a few, confidently introduced a few down or even swayed out of the line in case of a few.
However, the moment there used to be some width, Dhoni would slash it over level.
He would call up Shardul and ask him about his imaginary field placings. Shardul could be observed pointing at imaginary field positions like mid-wicket, further quilt and deep positive leg. Dhoni would play shots accordingly.
After each and every few deliveries, he had words of recommendation for Shardul, who listened intently.
The reflexes are on no account the same because it used to be. There were a large number of play and leave out deliveries but when he middled it, it did make a phenomenal sound.
Once the session used to be over, he discovered a couple of scribes looking at his session.
"Bhanak lag gaya (So you got the whiff that I am here)," he smiled at one among them as he disappeared inside the confines of NCA dressing room.
Watching an stress-free coaching session got here to an finish.
