Watch: MS Dhoni hits long sixes to spinners in net practice ahead of the Indian T20 League 2023 edition

The 41-year-old MS Dhoni is likely to play for one last season for the Chennai franchise ahead of the upcoming edition of the Indian T20 League. With age not on his side, MS Dhoni might not play all the games this year. However, he promised to finish his career in front of the Chennai franchise and, hence, you will see him play matches this year.

While all his allies are busy representing their nations or playing in T20 leagues around the world, MS Dhoni has started preparations for the upcoming Indian T20 League edition. He is grinding it out in the nets to prepare himself to face the world’s best bowlers in the most popular cricket league in the world.

In a recent video that has gone viral on the internet, MS Dhoni could be seen hitting some huge sixes at the nets. Dhoni is seen facing the spinners and smashing them out of the park. The video took a little time to get viral on social media.

The Chennai franchise had a forgettable season last year. Ahead of the start of the season, MS Dhoni handed over the leadership duties to Ravindra Jadeja. However, midway through the season, following a string of losses, Dhoni took the leadership duties back but it had little effect on the overall result.

Chennai finished at ninth position with 4 wins in 14 matches and 8 points to their name. They would be looking to improve on that this time around. It is worth mentioning that Chennai is one of the most successful franchises in the history of the league.

Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, Chennai have won Indian T20 League title on 4 occasions. They would be keen to win the fifth title this year. The Yellow Army spent a whopping 16.25 crores to buy the services of Ben Stokes for the upcoming edition.

He could be seen as the future captain of Chennai in the Indian T20 League. It will be interesting to see how the franchise performs this year.
