MS Dhoni's Fitness Issues In IPL 2023

In the previous IPL season, the former India skipper endured a below-par performance, managing just 104 runs across 16 games. Hindered by a knee injury, he even opted to lower his position in the batting order during the victorious IPL 2023 campaign. Following the conclusion of IPL 2023, MS Dhoni underwent knee surgery at a Mumbai hospital. However, in videos that offered a peek into his training sessions for IPL 2024, Dhoni has exhibited no signs of discomfort and appears to be in good physical condition.
