India is all set to meet Australia in the series decider of their three-match ODI series in Chennai today. With India winning the first match in Mumbai and Australia bouncing back to win the Vizag match, both teams look strong to claim the series.
Ahed of the all-important match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, an image of MS Dhoni has gone viral on the internet. The former Indian captain was seen sitting in the Indian team’s dugout. Notably, Dhoni is in Chennai preparing for the upcoming Indian T20 League 2023.
When the most successful Indian captain returned to the dugout, the fans became very nostalgic and emotional. “Thala sitting with better captain than him,” wrote a fan on Twitter. “Ohh… Its so nostalgic Seeing him again in Indian jersey will always be a dream but happy to see him there, He just gave us everything for India,” another fan wrote.

In the meantime, Chennai’s player camp is currently underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, where the team’s captain is spending long hours at the nets fine-tuning his batting. Over the last three seasons, Dhoni has struggled with the bat. Dhoni, on the other hand, wants to go out in style in what is expected to be his final season.
Following several videos on social media platforms of him playing big shots during a net session in recent days, a new video of him wearing a musician’s hat and playing the guitar has gone viral. The video was shared by the franchise’s official Twitter handle and shows Dhoni having fun with his Chennai teammates Shivam Dube, Deepak Chahar, and Ruturaj Gaikwad during an ad shoot. The video was captioned “Groovy Wednesday!”

The lack of social media engagement by Dhoni from his personal accounts is increasing his craze among fans more and more even after retirement!!!
Every single latest pic of dhoni becomes talk of the town!!
More accessible is less valuable and vice-versa!
