Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag believes Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has mastered the role of a finisher, and nobody comes anywhere close to the former India captain. The 21-year-old from Guwahati, who will be playing his fifth IPL this year, added that while he is happy donning the role of a finisher, if given a choice, he would like to bat at No. 4 in the tournament.
This time around, MS Dhoni's return to the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai for Chennai Super Kings ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has sparked much fanfare. Due to COVID-induced restrictions, Dhoni and CSK were not able to play in Chennai in the last few years. However, this time the IPL 2023 will be played in a home-and-away format and Chennai fans will get to see Dhoni and Co. live yet again. Four-time champions CSK have started to practice in Chennai and the CSK team management have opened some of the practice sessions for the fans. During one such practice session on Monday, Dhoni came in and hit a huge six, which was met with rapturous cheers from the fans present.
MS Dhoni is a brand in Indian cricket that not many come close too. Though it's been years since the wicket-keeper batter called time on his international career, fans still queue up in numbers to get a glimpse of the iconic cricketer. Ahead of Chennai Super Kings' IPL 2023 opener against defening champions Gujarat Titans, Dhoni came out for a practice session at Chepauk, with thousands of fans in attendace. As soon as Dhoni walked onto the pitch, the entire stadium roared, cheering for Chennai's favourite son.
Among Indian Premier League's nine teams, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) remain sentimental favourite of the fans, primarily because of the man at the helm. The 41-year-old Dhoni, with his bulging biceps and never diminishing flash reflexes, remains a top draw even though his batting prowess hasn't got requisite return. Yet, having led the team to four titles and nine finals, his mere presence makes the opposition try to think out of the box.
Four-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, Chennai Super Kings head into the 2023 edition of the T20 league, having bolstered their squad with some of the finest players in the world. Ben Stokes, unarguably one of the finest all-rounders in the game, was bought by the franchise in the auction for a whopping fee of Rs 16.25 crore. Former CSK star Matthew Hayden sees the England all-rounder as the X-factor for the MS Dhoni-led team, going into the new season.
One of the finest cricketers of all time, MS Dhoni remains active only in the Indian Premier League (IPL). With the 2023 season of the cash-rich T20 league abou to start, many fans are wondering if it would be the last time they would see Dhoni donning the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) jersey. With age not on his side, and cricketing practice also being limited, it's tough for many to see Dhoni carrying on beyond this season. When ChatGPT, the viral AI-based platform, was asked if this could be Dhoni's last season, the answer was an interesting one.
MS Dhoni doing wicketkeeping or batting is a very common sight when he is playing in the ground, however, to see him bowl is a rare event. Despite having played 538 international matches, Dhoni has bowled only 22 overs in his entire career. He also has only one international wicket to his name which is in the ODI format. While the international cricket saw him bowl a few overs before the player retired from the highest level in the year 2020, the Indian Premier League has never witnessed MS Dhoni bowling. However, the upcoming IPL season could be a first one to see him bowl.
When MS Dhoni burst on to the Indian cricket scene, he was unlike any other player. Hailing from Ranchi, Jharkhand, with long hair, Dhoni was an exception. With his unorthodox shots and approach, Dhoni soon became a household name after making his debut for the Indian cricket team in 2004. He went on to become India's most successful captain. He will be leading Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 and ahead of the event, his long-time teammate Suresh Raina recalled their first meeting.
