CHENNAI, MARCH 2
As was announced early, the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai erupted when Mahendra Singh Dhoni, skipper of the Chennai Super Kings put on his pads for the first time after a long gap.
Dhoni on Monday started training for IPL 2020 with the Chennai Super Kings. He received a rousing reception ahead of his much-anticipated return to action in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Chants of “Dhoni, Dhoni….” were heard as he entered the Chidambaram Stadium and he obliged his fans with some big hits during the net session. Dhoni had earlier practised in Jharkhand but this was the first time people were allowed to watch the former India captain in action ahead of IPL 2020, starting on March 29 with the defending champions Mumbai Indians taking on Chennai Super Kings.
Hundreds of fans gathered to watch the CSK players as they began practice. The talismanic 38-year-old wicket-keeper batsman, who led India to two world titles, got down to work with some other team members. CSK’s full camp will begins from March 19.
