India are grouped with Hong Kong and arch rivals Pakistan, whom they will face on Wednesday.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) official Twitter handle had uploaded a video of the veteran practicing.
“In focus and in the zone @msdhoni #TeamIndia #AsiaCup2018,” was the caption.
Dhoni, who retired from Tests in 2014, last played an ODI during India’s three-match series against hosts England in July.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has been rested for the multi-nation tournament following a hectic tour to the United Kingdom.
Rohit Sharma is captaining the side in Kohli’s absence.
