Watch: MS Dhoni Jets Off To Ireland For T20I Series

After a stunning outing in the Indian Premier League, MS Dhoni is all geared up to don the famous blue jersey of the Indian team once again.

The 36-year old led Chennai Super Kings to their third Indian Premier League title. While the Super Kings have traditionally done well in the competition, the latest triumph is pretty remarkable. They were returning to the league after a two-year absence and not many had expected them to go all the way. But under the abled leadership of MS Dhoni, they defied all the odds to win the title.

Dhoni led the team from the front as he starred with the bat. In fact, he has had one of the best IPL seasons of his life. He not only won games for his side almost single-handedly but it also showed an unparalleled consistency.

The Super Kings skipper Dhoni finished the season with 455 runs to his name. In addition, he also scored three fifties while smashing 24 fours and 30 sixes. It was his best season since 2013 when he had scored 461 runs in 18 games.

With form on his side, Dhoni will now be looking to impress in the national jersey too. Dhoni’s reputation as a finisher has taken a hit in recent times. However, the way he took the bowlers to the cleaners this IPL, it is pretty clear that he still has a lot of cricket left in him. A series against Ireland is just perfect for Dhoni to get into the groove before the tough series against England. Meanwhile, Dhoni will have a chance to add another feather to his illustrious cap when he takes the field. The 36-year old needs only 33 more runs to complete 10,000 ODI runs.

The two-match series against Ireland will get underway on June 27. After the Ireland tour, India will visit England for three T20Is, three ODIs and 5 Tests.
