Chennai Super Kings' practice session for the 2020 Indian Premier League has already begun in full-fledge. Along with others, captain MS Dhoni has already started his practice.
Dhoni, who has announced his retirement from international cricket recently, didn’t take part in a single game since 2019 ICC World Cup semi-final where India lost to New Zealand.
However, MS Dhoni was seen in his original form where he smashed some huge sixes, that went beyond the stands, on Thursday as well.
While talking to Sportstar, CSK CEO K.S. Viswanathan said, “Dhoni is striking the ball very well. And there were plenty of sixes in all directions. Dhoni was his usual self, relaxed, confident and happy.”
He also added that the team got the news of Dhoni’s retirement through his Instagram post and further added that the team was surprised with the news.

However, the Chennai Super Kings team has arranged a five-day camp in Chennai to prepare for the cash-rich leaue, starting from September 19.
“The boys had not trained for a long time and this was good for them. Coming after a break, they did not stretch themselves fully. That could have led to injuries. But the cricketers gradually found their rhythm,” Viswanathan said. “There will be another six days of quarantine for the team once we land in Dubai. So I would say the camp here was vital for many players.”
“I thought M. Vijay was striking the ball very well. So was Rituraj Gaekwad. We have a lot of options in the side,” he said. One of the net bowlers also impressed him -- Ashwin Christ. “Crist was there on all the days. He was bowling well. In fact, he looked sharp. The boys are in the right frame of mind. The signs are good for CSK,” added Viswanathan.
