Former Indian cricket team skipper MS Dhoni celebrated India’s 75th Republic Day in true patriotic fashion as he hoisted the Indian national flag at his farmhouse in Ranchi. Dhoni’s wife Sakshi posted a video on social media platform Instagram that featured the veteran cricketer looking at the huge flag. The video has gone viral on social media with a lot of crickets fans and social media followers hailing him for his show of love for the tri-colour as well as the gesture on such a momentous occasion.
Dhoni will be back in action for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Keeping the curiosity intact among the fans regarding Dhoni’s future after this season, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said that only Dhoni could say if it is going to be his last edition.
“That I do not know. See, as far as the captain is concerned, he will answer you directly. He does not tell us what he is going to do,” Viswanathan said as quoted by The Indian Express.
Dhoni went through a knee surgery in early June this year. Currently, the player is going through rehab and he is expected to be match-fit well ahead of IPL 2024.
“He is doing well now. He has started his rehab. He started working in the gym. And, probably in another 10 days he’ll start working in the nets also,” said Viswanathan.
In a bid to retain their Indian Premier League (IPL) title, CSK did some exceptional business at the Players Auction in Dubai on December 19. The MS Dhoni-led side roped in six players in total, with New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell as their most expensive buy, priced at Rs 14 crore. The five-time champions stunned everyone when they bought uncapped Indian batter Sameer Rizvi for Rs 8.4 crore. CSK resigned India all-rounder Shardul Thakur, following his release from KKR.
