MS Dhoni viral video: Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni has started preparing for the much-awaited 2023 season of Indian Premier League (IPL 2023). A video has gone viral on social media in which four-time IPL winner Dhoni can be seen hitting a couple of beautiful drives in the nets at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
With less than a month left for the cash-rich T20 league, Chennai Super Kings began their preparatory camp for IPL 2023 at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday. Along with MS Dhoni, senior players Ajinkya Rahane and Ambati Rayudu also arrived in Chennai to join CSK training camp.
It is believed that Dhoni will be leading CSK in IPL for probably the last time. Viral video of Dhoni's batting practice was quickly noticed by fans on Twitter who poured in love upon seeing the legendary batter's return to action.
“Our Friyay feeling is surely unmatched!” CSK wrote in caption of their post.

The 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) will begin on 31st March. The tournament opener will be played between Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Gujarat Titans.
41-year-old Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in August 2020, led Chennai Super Kings to a title win in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. CSK had a disappointing season last year as they lost 10 out of 14 matches in IPL 2023.
CSK roped in England Test captain Ben Stokes and New Zealand star pacer Kyle Jamieson in IPL 2023 auction, earlier this year. While there are still doubts over Jamieson's availability for the tournament due to his back injury, Stokes recently confirmed his participation in IPL 2023.
