Former India captain MS Dhoni may have left the international arena, but remains a crucial, revolutionary part of India’s cricketing history. While he remains fairly inactive on social media, his wife often shares the proceedings in his life.

Recently, MS Dhoni has made his return to the television screens for an advertisement for Zed Black Agarbatti’s. The 40-year-old World Cup-winning skipper donned India’s retro jersey in that advertisement.

A few weeks ago, MS Dhoni sported the same jersey with director Farah Khan, and now it’s clear that it was for this particular commercial.

Renowned photographer Viral Bhayani posted the commercial on his social media, on Sunday, 15th August – exactly a year after MS Dhoni had announced his international retirement.

MS Dhoni along with some CSK players land in Dubai:

Fans have been delighted to see ‘Thala’ in the retro jersey; they will more when the Ranchi-born return on the field in the IPL 202 in UAE.

Part of the Chennai Super Kings contingent, including skipper MS Dhoni, has landed in Dubai, where they will take on the Mumbai Indians on September 19 in the first game of the second leg of the IPL 2021.

After a disappointing last season – CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time – the Yello Army roared back with 5 wins in 7 matches so far this season.

The inclusion of Moeen Ali in the middle-order has been a revelation for CSK. The all-rounder, while batting at number 3, has scored 206 runs at a strike rate of 157.25, while Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, and Ravindra Jadeja have handled things very well at the top and lower order.

In the bowling department, Deepak Chahar and Sam Curran have been CSK’s leading pacers with Jadeja, Ali, Shardul Thakur and Lungi Ngidi playing the supporting role.
