Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Devon Conway and all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius shared their experience of watching skipper MS Dhoni walk out to bat at the Chepauk stadium ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 game against Rajasthan Royals (RR).

The 16th edition of the IPL not only gave another opportunity to all the teams to lift the trophy, but it also saw the adopted son of Chennai, MS Dhoni, return back to the Chepauk stadium. His arrival at the venue was nothing less than any full-packed show of a popular singer.

A fully packed Chepauk stadium was there to support MS Dhoni for their first game at the venue after years. The keeper batter made sure that he announced his arrival in style as he smashed two big sixes to make the crowd go berserk. Not only this, but a huge number of people also turned up to see him even in the practice session.

“It was special to see MS walk out of the Chepauk stadium. You hear a lot of stories about the crowd going crazy when he wala out to bat. And experiencing that yesterday firsthand, being there was special. I mean, it was so loud I literally couldn’t hear myself.

“Execute his first ball, hit it for six and then his second ball hit an even bigger six. I mean not many players in the world can do that. So, yeah it was amazing to be there and experience that in person. And yes, it was just special to watch it first hand.”
