Magician Naman Anand shared the video on Instagram. “Making MS Dhoni read my mind!” he wrote as he posted the video. The clip opens to show Dhoni and Anand sitting side by side in chairs. Dhoni is also seen holding a deck of cards in his hand.

As the video progresses, Anand asks Dhoni to keep the cards in his hand. He also asks Dhoni, ‘Do you know my favourite card? Did I ever tell you?’ To which, the cricketer replies, ‘Nah.’ Anand then asks Dhoni to cut the deck with his right hand and keep his finger on one of the cards.

As the cricketer does so, Anand goes on to explain that no one in the audience knows his favourite card and ultimately reveals it is 9 of Spades. He finally asks Mahi to pick up the chosen card, and it turns out to be - no prizes for guessing - 9 of Spades. The video ends with the audience clapping and Dhoni laughing.
