Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans are excited to watch MS Dhoni return to competitive cricket after a huge gap of 1 year and 2 months. Dhoni, who retired from international cricket last month, hasn't been featured in any of the top-level cricket since World Cup 2019.

Fans of Dhoni can't wait to see him accompanying Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma for the toss on September 19 in IPL 2020. The match will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

If one looks at winning percentage, Dhoni is currently the most successful IPL captain among those who have led their side for over 80 matches. 

Many are worried if Dhoni would actually be able to repeat what he did in the last two IPL seasons with the bat. But this season, apart from his own form, Dhoni has the responsibility to lead the side without a full-time off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and most suited number 3 batsman Suresh Raina.

Fans had already started the countdown to see him play after he announced retirement on August 15 at 17:29.

Here are the reactions:
