The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is all set to begin their preparations for the IPL 2021 season with the first training camp in Chennai from Tuesday, March 9. Skipper MS Dhoni has already arrived in the city and will be seen in action in less than a week.

IPL 2020 was not the best of seasons for CSK with them finishing second to last in the points table. However, they look a better side this time around ahead of the 14th edition of the IPL.

MS Dhoni will be seen leading the training camp which is an exciting piece of news for all the fans of the IPL franchise from Tamil Nadu and of the legend himself. With Dhoni no longer to be seen in the blue jersey, IPL is the only tournament he plays, thus making it even more exciting for the fans.
