Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni is known for his prep and hard work ahead of each and every tournament. He is 41 but a look at him playing in the nets can trick your eyes. Even after crossing 40, the only reasons MSD is still going on and on in IPL, year after year, is because he keeps a check on his lifestyle, food habits and work out regimes. The Dhoni and CSK fans have already been blessed with videos of him smashing sixes in the nets. Dhoni is leaving no stone unturned to get ready for the 16th edition of the league. He knows he will need to be at the peak of his skills as well as fitness to win the fifth title for CSK. 

On Wednesday, after CSK’s practice session, a photo of his batting in the nets went viral. In that photo, one can see Dhoni stepping out to smash the bowler out of the park. His triceps are at work and they are look massive in the picture. The fans were mighty impressed by the photo as to see Dhoni so fit even at 41 years of age is very inspiring for them. 

CSK shared the photo on their Instagram and wrote: “ICYMI the easter egg from last night, here is the original.”

Take a look at photo below and fans’ reactions:

IPL 2023 is going to MS Dhoni’s 16th IPL as well. Barring two years, 2016 and 2017, he has played all editions as captain of the Chennai Super Kings. Last year, right ahead of the new season, he passed on the baton to Ravindra Jadeja. However, thanks to CSK’s poor run in the first few matches, Dhoni was told to captain again. CSK failed to reach the last four in IPL 2022 but this year Dhoni will have his eyes set on the trophy. CSK have won the title four times and he would be hoping that he finishes off in style with fifth IPL title. 

It looks very much a possibility that Dhoni plays his last IPL this year. He had said at end of last season that he would want to play in front of home crowd one more time before calling it quits.
