WATCH: MS Dhoni registers century during Chennai Super Kings’ practice match

MS Dhoni registers century: The legendary batsman is said to have scored a power-packed century in a recently concluded practice match.

There is no hiding to the fact that veteran wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be one of the highlight of the imminent season of the Indian Premier League.

Dhoni, who last played competitive cricket during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, has made his plentiful fans to wait for his return into competitive cricket.

The former Indian captain had missed the West Indies tour (and all subsequent series) last year due to his training for the parachute regiment of the Indian Army in Kashmir valley. Dhoni was in the news in January when his name wasn’t to be found in the list of annually contracted Indian players.

Dhoni’s craze could be calculated when fans came in the numbers of thousands to witness the 38-year old player entering the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai for Chennai Super Kings’ first practice session ahead of IPL 2020.
