IPL 2024: MS Dhoni and the milestones that CSK legend can look forward to

MS Dhoni, at the age of 42, is not finished, just yet. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) veteran will be seen weaving magic one more time in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Over the years, Dhoni has helped CSK make a name for themselves by winning 5 IPL titles and 2 titles in the scrapped Champions League T20.

Dhoni will be seen in the CSK jersey in the opening match against the Faf du Plessis-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on March 22 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Dhoni returned to training in the nets and has looked hungrier than ever. Recently, he hit a no-look to a left-arm spinner and gave an account of his clean ball-striking. Dhoni will be expected to lead the Super Kings from the front when he takes the field.
