IPL 2023: WATCH- MS Dhoni practices hitting massive sixes during his prep for IPL 16

Dhoni will be captaining the CSK team in IPL 2023.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni is prepping hard for the upcoming IPL 2023 which is expected to begin in the last week of March this year. CSK had finished in the bottom half of the points table in IPL 2022 and they would want to do well this year.

Especially, because after a break of three years, the IPL 2023 will return to their home and away format and CSK will play in front of the home crowd in Chepauk. Many fans are also eager to see 41-year-old MS Dhoni once more playing in Anbu Den which might be his last time playing in the IPL as well.

However, given how meticulous Dhoni is in his preparations, he is leaving no stone unturned and has been doing the hard work at the JSCA Cricket stadium facilities. Given that he doesn’t play top-level cricket frequently anymore, he has been seen going that extra mile to get into match shape and mentality.
