WATCH- When MS Dhoni told Piyush Chawla, “Single to tu le lega, par har ball ground ke bahar maar”

Piyush Chawla was bought by CSK for Rs 6.75 crore.

The Chennai Super Kings have made it into the finals of the last two editions of the Indian Premier League (IPL) under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. While they won the 2018 trophy, they fell one run short of repeating the feat against Mumbai Indians in 2019.

However, CSK were looking good when they organized a camp for their players in Feb-Mar ahead of the planned start of IPL 2020 in Chepauk. It saw MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and other CSK regulars mingling with new acquisitions in Piyush Chawla and others.

The CSK social media game is very strong and they shared a clip of MS Dhoni teasing Piyush Chawla during net sessions. In the video, Dhoni can be seen making some comments from behind as Chawla faced some deliveries in the nets during CSK's official training camp earlier this year.

Recalling Dhoni’s cheeky remarks, Chawla said that the skipper enticed him to hit every ball out of the ground. "When we were batting Mahi bhai was like you are not allowed to defend the ball. You have to hit each and every ball out of the park. I said, "I can't hit like you, obviously," Chawla recalled.

“He said I know singles toh tu le lega par marna padega," Chawla said in a live chat on CSK's official Instagram handle.
