IPL 2021: MS Dhoni hits training ground for Chennai Super Kings

MS Dhoni was spotted on the field before the Indian Premier League 2021 as he trained with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the team he has led since the start of the IPL. CSK posted a picture on social media in which Dhoni is seen walking on the field with his kit bag shoulder to shoulder. Dhoni is set to lead CSK in IPL 2021 after making a strong announcement ahead of CSK’s last match in IPL 20, as it was certainly not his final appearance in yellow. IPL 2021 will begin on April 9 with defending champions Mumbai Indians at Royal Challengers Bangalore in Chennai.

CSK will play its first game in Delhi on 10 April with a scheduling change in the league, in which no team will play at their home ground.

Dhoni had an IPL 2020 sub-match as he scored 200 runs in 14 matches at a modest strike rate of 116.27.
Last season too, CSK missed the playoff race for the first time in the season played in the IPL.

The team imposed a two-year ban for corruption charges and missed the league in 2016 and 2017.

However, Dhoni led the title in the comeback year of 2018 as CSK became only the second team in the league to win more than two titles.

Promoted

Mumbai Indians have the most titles in the IPL and won a record fifth trophy last season.

CSK had earlier given a grand welcome to Dhoni when he landed in Chennai to join the team.
