MS Dhoni will be making his much-anticipated return to action through the upcoming IPL. The former India skipper has not played a single competitive game since the World Cup semifinal in July last year. As soon as the tournament ended, he took a sabbatical from the game which would have ended in March in the IPL. However, the tournament was postponed in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
Others arrive in Chennai too:
MS Dhoni was not the only player to land in Chennai on Friday. Along with him, Suresh Raina, Monu Kumar, Karn Sharma, Piyush Chawla and Deepak Chahar arrived too. All the players arrived in the same flight to Chennai. Suresh Raina took to Instagram to post a group picture of himself and his teammates from the flight.
The thirteenth edition of the IPL is scheduled to take place from September 19 to November 10.
