IPL 2023: The 16th season of the Indian Premier League, i.e. IPL 2023, starts on 31st March. The first match to be played at Gujarat’s Narendra Modi Stadium will be played between one of the most successful teams of the league, Chennai Super Kings and IPL 2022 winner Gujarat Titans (GT).
Both the teams have started preparing for this match, but Chennai Super Kings are looking ahead of Gujarat. Chennai captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni monitors the team’s preparations closely.
Dhoni’s Shot Went Viral
Chennai is at the forefront of IPL preparations, and its captain MS Dhoni is also working hard in the net. A video of Dhoni from net practice is going viral. In this video, Dhoni is seen playing away from his familiar style, and instead of a helicopter shot, he is seen taking two steps forward and hitting a six with a straight bat.
Chennai Super Kings has shared the shot video of this MS Dhoni with his official Twitter account. While sharing this video, CSK has written ‘Nonchalant’ in English in the caption, which means careless. Along with this, ‘Whistle Fodu’ and ‘Yellow Love’ have also been tagged in the tweet. This video is viral on social media and has been viewed more than two lakh times.

Last Season Was Disappointing
Last season was the worst in the league’s history for the 4-time IPL champion and Chennai Super Kings, who played the most finals. The team was also in controversies due to giving the captaincy to Jadeja, removing him from the captaincy, and dropping him from the playing XI. Therefore, Chennai would like to forget their disappointing performance last year and perform according to their standard during the following season.
Dhoni’s Last IPL Could Be
IPL 2023 is very special for Chennai Super Kings. This is because of his captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It is expected that 41-year-old Dhoni will say goodbye to this league as a player after the 16th season. That’s why all the players and management of Chennai would like to bid farewell to their captain with a win.
