MS Dhoni on Tuesday (March 6) arrived in Chennai for Chennai Super Kings’ preparatory camp ahead of IPL 2024, and the defending champions gave the Yellow Brigade a gift by announcing their skipper’s arrival via a video with Thalapathy Vijay-starrer Leo edit
With 17 days left for the IPL, Dhoni linked up with the CSK team after guiding them to their fifth IPL title last season following their 5-wicket victory against Gujarat Titans in the final.
The video is inspired from the movie Leo, which became the 16th highest-grossing Indian film of all time following it’s release in 2023 October. One fan on X informed how the video gave goosebumps.
This doesn’t confirm anything about Dhoni’s “new role” as that very much looks like something connected to a broadcaster promo of Star Sports, who also posted on the CSK skipper’s arrival in Chennai.
“The helicopter has landed in Chennai, New Role loading. Countdown to March 22 starts now… stay tuned to Star Sports for more,” Star Sports India posted on X with a video.
Dhoni sports a nostalgic look of his early days when he announced his arrival to world cricket with long coloured hair. He had that hair-style until he lifted the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007.
Chennai Super Kings will begin their title defence at home against Royal Challengers Bangalore on March 22 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. So, players have already started arriving for the preparatory camp from Monday (March 5).
