Ms Dhoni spotted in Ahmedabad ahead of IPL 2023 return
East India Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni earned the tag of ‘Captain Cool’ for his calm approach in the moments of panic on the field. His calm demeanor coupled with an astute cricketing mind helped the Indian cricket team to many memorable victories. Team India won the ICC Men’s T20 Champions Trophy World Cup and the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup under his leadership. Dhoni has also proved his worth as the captain of the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL), leading them to four titles. Dhoni will once again lead the Chennai franchise in the upcoming edition of the IPL. Ahead of his return to IPL, Dhoni was recently seen at the launch event of a lab in Ahmedabad. A picture of this occasion has now gone viral on social media. In the photo, Dhoni can be seen in a black T-shirt. He was surrounded by his fans, mostly in lab coats, pointing at him.
MS Dhoni might have hung up his boots in international cricket but he still remains an integral part of the Chennai-based franchise in the IPL. Since its inception in 2008, Dhoni has scored 4978 runs in 234 matches in the domestic T20 franchise tournament. In T20Is, Dhoni scored 1617 runs in 85 matches at a strike rate of 126.13, establishing his legacy as an elite wicketkeeper-batsman to wear the Indian jersey.
Despite their achievements in the IPL, CSK had a relatively disappointing campaign last season, finishing second from the bottom with just four wins from 10 matches. Mumbai Indians were the only team below them, courtesy their low run rate.
Chennai fans are now eagerly waiting for MS Dhoni’s power-packed show at the MA Chidambaram Stadium as the IPL is all set to bring back its original home-away format in the upcoming season.
There is only a short time left for IPL 2023 to begin. M S Dhoni Has already come on the net to prepare for the new campaign. The return of Ravindra Jadeja as well as the inclusion of English star all-rounder Ben Stokes will surely give Chennai a solid chance of chasing the title this year. At the age of 41, this could very well be Dhoni’s last IPL as a player and lifting the coveted trophy would be the joy of an illustrious career.
