MS Dhoni turned up the heat in Chennai as he kicked off his first training session ahead of IPL 2026. The Chennai Super Kings star arrived in the city on Saturday, February 28, receiving a warm welcome from fans who had gathered at the airport to catch a glimpse of the iconic cricketer.
Dhoni then headed to CSK’s high-performance centre, where he joined Ruturaj Gaikwad in the nets. The session showcased Dhoni’s trademark timing and precision: he began with elegant drives through the off side, followed by crisp backfoot pull shots, and finished with sharp cut shots. Every stroke reflected the calm confidence and intent that made him a legend of the game.
Unlike last year, Dhoni kept it simple off the field, stepping out of the airport in a maroon round-neck T-shirt and blue jeans, without any message-bearing apparel. Fans and teammates alike will be keeping a close eye as Captain Cool gears up for another IPL season.
