Similar to every year, almost every IPL franchise have begun their preparations for the forthcoming season and set up their camp at respective bases, where the younger players are sweating it hard, alongside a few marquee players who are not a part of any international commitment.
Since the international games are going on, the uncapped players of most teams miss out on learning from experienced senior players before the start of the competition. However, it is not the same for Chennai Super Kings, where the budding cricketers are lucky to spend quality preparation time with the legend MS Dhoni before the rest of the squad joins.
The CSK Twitter handle regularly uploads clips of behind-the-scenes from the team’s preparation. In their latest post, they delighted the fans by posting a video of MS Dhoni smashing sixes in the practice session.
In a video posted on March 9, the CSK Twitter Handle provided a ‘Thala Update’, in which MS could be seen rewinding the clock and hitting the bowlers out of the park with huge sixes.
One of the fans reacted to the fans and urged the users to pray for the net bowlers. “Whoever reading this before going to sleep please don’t forget to pray for net bowlers to survive them Thala storm,” he wrote.
The 16th edition of the IPL will start on March 31, with CSK taking on defending champion Gujarat Titans. The season is likely to be Dhoni’s last season for the franchise.
