MS Dhoni is all set to make his return to the cricket field on March 26 at the Wankhede Stadium as the defending champions Chennai Super Kings gear up to lock horns with the runners-up of the last season Kolkata Knight Riders in a rematch of last season’s final. The two teams will kick off the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League which will be hosted by Mumbai and Pune.
Generally, the Chennai Super Kings conduct their pre-season training camp at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. However, this year, the camp is at the Lalbhai Contractor Stadium in Surat. Explaining the reason behind it, a secretary of Surat District Cricket Association Nainesh Desai had previously stated:
“Top cricketing stars like MS Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja and other national and international stars will be part of the practice camp. The cricket franchise selected Surat as we have developed pitches using the same soil as it is in Mumbai.”
MS Dhoni was spotted in the training session on Day 1 of the Surat Camp
As mentioned ahead, the entire Chennai Super Kings squad will assemble in Surat for the pre-season camp, and MS Dhoni is part of the same. Photos of his training went viral on social media after the Chennai Super Kings posted them on their social media handles. Here’s how fans on Twitter reacted to the photos:
