New Delhi: Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 is all set to begin from 29th March with players slowly lining up with their franchises for the preparation of the 2-month long cricketing extravaganza. Former India captain MS Dhoni, who has not played professional cricket since India’s shock exit from the semifinal of the ICC World Cup 2019 in England, joined the Chennai Super Kings camp ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Dhoni was greeted by his old friend Suresh Raina as CSK took to their official Twitter handle to share a video of the moment.

Dhoni and Raina have been loyal compatriots of each other for a long time and have been part of the Chennai franchise since the inception of the cash-rich league. Thus it came as a no surprise that the two greeted each other with a hug and Raina placed a kiss on his captain’s neck.
