MS Dhoni is gearing up for the forthcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition. The upcoming season will kick off on March 31 with the defending champions Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans (GT) set to host the Dhoni-led CSK franchise on the opening day in Ahmedabad. Ahead of the tournament-opener, Dhoni is sweating it out at the nets.
Recently, the official Twitter handle of the CSK franchise shared a video of Dhoni's batting at the nets. The former Indian captain, who is known for his power-hitting, hit a no-look big shot and the video went viral in no time. The Yellow Army captioned the post saying, "Nonchalant"

Dhoni has not had the best of runs as a batter in the last three editions. While he did put up a much-improved show in IPL 2022, he still managed only 232 runs in 14 games, at a strike rate of 123.40. However, he gave something to cheer for his ardent fans by turning back the clock courtesy of his match-finishing knock versus Mumbai Indians (MI), played a few rapid cameos, and struck one fifty during the tournament opener, versus Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Dhoni's loyalists will hope for a memorable season for the legendary cricketer who might step away from the game completely after this year's IPL.
