MS Dhoni arrived in Chennai for CSK’s preparatory camp on Tuesday, ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. With only a few days left in the IPL, Dhoni rejoined the Chennai Super Kings team after leading them to their fifth title last season with a 5-wicket victory over the Gujarat Giants. The most recent photo of MS Dhoni from a CSK training session has piqued fans’ interest and is currently going viral.
The vintage hair.
The classic emotion.

MS Dhoni can be seen in the post sporting his vintage hairstyle, which he used to wear during the early stages of his cricket career.
Dhoni played the last IPL with a knee injury that limited his ability to run between the wickets. In June, Dhoni had surgery at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai.
Last December, CEO Kasi Viswanathan gave an update on Dhoni’s recovery, stating, “He [Dhoni] is doing well now. He has begun his rehabilitation and is working in the gym.”
Dhoni teased a new possible role ahead of the new season, writing on Facebook, “Can’t wait for the new season and the new ‘role’.” “Stay tuned.”
CSK’s preparatory camp began on March 2, with Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Mukesh Choudhary, and Prashant Solanki joining the camp in Chepauk. CSK suffered an injury blow before the start of the season, as New Zealand opener Devon Conway is expected to miss at least the first half of the tournament after having thumb surgery. Conways sustained a finger injury during New Zealand’s third T20I against Australia.
CSK will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first game of the IPL 2024 on March 22 at Chepauk Stadium.
