MS Dhoni arrived in Chennai on Wednesday, February 26, marking the beginning of Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) preparations for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Dhoni, seen wearing a black t-shirt and sunglasses, was escorted by security as he exited the airport. He was among the first batch of local players to join the pre-season camp, which aims to revitalize the team after a disappointing 2024 season.
The excitement surrounding Dhoni’s arrival was palpable, with CSK sharing a photo captioned “ThalaDharisanam (A glimpse of Thala)” to engage fans. Earlier in the day, captain RuturajGaikwad received a warm welcome, while other players like Gurjapneet Singh, Andre Siddharth, Khaleel Ahmed, Anshul Kamboj, and KamleshNagarkoti also joined the camp.
As CSK looks to bounce back from last season, Dhoni’s presence will be crucial in guiding the team through the pre-season camp. His involvement is expected to boost morale and performance, setting the stage for a strong IPL 2025 campaign. With Dhoni potentially playing his final season, this could be a significant moment for both him and the franchise.
