Zampa will be joining the RPS franchise ahead of the upcoming tenth season of the cash-rich league.

At a time when media is discussing about the relationship between Indian and Australian cricketers following fiery Test series, Zampa's gesture shows there is still a lot of harmony amongst cricketers.

Zampa's tweet won over the hearts of several Dhoni fans who thanked and lauded the Aussie to his sweet gesture. The Australia tweaker took 12 wickets in his debut IPL season last year and impressed skipper Dhoni with his performances.

Zampa was perhaps talking about the white beard that Dhoni was seen sporting while he was leading his state team Jharkhand in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Dhoni's men performed very well under his leadership in the premier domestic one-day tournament. Dhoni's half-century effort went in vain as Jharkhand lost to Bengal in the semi-finals of the tournament.

Australia skipper Steve Smith will now lead the RPS in IPL 10 after owners decided to remove Dhoni as it's captain.
