Legendary Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni reunited on a tennis court to shoot for an advertisement. Dressed in casual t-shirts and track pants, the two iconic cricketers were seen playing tennis court. The pictures of Tendulkar and Dhoni went viral on social media, leaving cricket fans thrilled and curious about their new project.
Its not a surprise that despite retiring from international cricket long back, Dhoni and Sachin are still crowd favorites. Their brand value is massive and they are regularly spotted in TV commercials.
Both the players' love for tennis is well known. Recently, MS Dhoni was spotted at the US Open along with another legendary Indian cricketer in Kapil Dev. Sachin Tendulkar has been a regular spectator at the Wimbledon.
Sachin Tendulkar retired from all forms of cricket several years ago but is still regarded as the best batsman to have ever played the game of cricket with 29437 runs in 200 Tests and 21367 runs in 463 ODIs at a remarkable strike rate of 86.2.
On the other hand, two-time World Cup-winning skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2020. Notably, all fan theories might go in vain as Dhoni had confirmed his participation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Ahead of the toss of CSK's last league stage match in IPL 2022, Dhoni confirmed he had no plans to retire from IPL.
"Definitely. It's a simple reason: it will be unfair to not play in Chennai and say thank you [to the fans]. Mumbai is one place where, as a team and as an individual, I have got a lot of love and affection. But it wouldn't be nice to the CSK fans," said Dhoni after winning the toss against Rajasthan in their last league stage match in IPL 2022.
The CSK legends confirmed he plans not to call it quits before playing for the Chepauk crowd in Chennai. The veteran asserted returning to play for CSK in IPL 2023 will allow him to say "Thank You" to fans for their support.
