IPL 2023: WATCH MS Dhoni gears up for IPL return in Ranchi, CSK captain SMASHES Huge sixes in Nets – Check out
In a video posted on Twitter, the former Indian skipper can be seen hitting huge sixes while practising at the Jharkhand State Cricket Academy (JSCA) Stadium. The veteran batter looked at his best as he easily smashed the tweakers out of the park. Earlier, Dhoni was also present at the stadium when India took on NewZealand in the first T20I encounter played at Dhoni’s hometown in Ranchi.
The 2023 season of IPL is expected to be the last outing of the former Indian skipper in the league, and CSK will be looking to give him the fifth title win. In his 234 IPL appearances so far, Dhoni has scored 4978 runs with an average of 39.2, leading Chennai to the title four times in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021.

In the last two IPL editions, the CSK skipper’s strike rate has been a lowish 130. In IPL 2022 season, he scored 232 runs in 16 matches. The wicketkeeper-batter has not been able to finish games, and that has hampered CSK. By beginning training well beforehand, the 41-year-old sure wants to make a grand statement. A lethal Dhoni is not a good sign for the opposition teams.
The Captain Cool will want to make his last season memorable as the upcoming IPL season might be Dhoni’s last appearance on the cricket field. The Yellow Army will want to lift the coveted trophy for the fifth time and give a befitting farewell to the Indian legend.
