Watch: MS Dhoni spotted knocking huge hits ahead of KKR game

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are gearing up to play Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2024 at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 8, Monday. Ahead of the highly anticipated showdown, former CSK captain MS Dhoni has been seen sweating it out at the nets.

Notably, the Ranchi-born showcased his batting prowess twice in the ongoing IPL season. In the clash against Delhi Capitals, he blazed all guns with an unbeaten 37 off just 16 balls, featuring four boundaries and three maximums. However, in their subsequent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 42-year-old could only face a couple of deliveries, scoring a run. It's worth noting that Chennai suffered defeats in both games.

In a video posted by IPL on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Dhoni showed glimpses of his vintage form, unleashing some colossal sixes during his net practice session. The senior pro was spotted flawlessly hitting sixes against pace and spin with effortless ease, indicating that the veteran wicketkeeper-batter was in sublime touch.

"𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙈𝙎 𝘿𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙞 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨," IPL captioned the post.

The Shreyas Iyer-led side stands as one of the two undefeated sides in the ongoing tournament, trailing only behind Rajasthan Royals in the table. The two-time champions will strive to extend their impressive winning streak when they face off against the Yellow Army.
