The festival of Krishna Janmashtami is being celebrated all over India on Tuesday and the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) recalled a unique throwback video of their skipper, MS Dhoni playing the flute. With sunglasses and a mohawk hairdo revving up his wardrobe, Dhoni is seen playing the flute at what looks like the waiting lounge of an airport.
In the video, the CSK skipper can be seen in his India training jersey and Ambati Rayudu can also be seen in the background, possibly during one of Team India’s travels. Dhoni will be leading the CSK in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and will look to win his team a record-equalling fourth title when the tournament will be commencing in the UAE from September 19.

IPL 2020 will not be hosted in India due to the increasing cases of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and will be played in three cities in the UAE – Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. As per the current schedule, it will be commencing on September 19.

Chennai lost the IPL 2019 final against Mumbai Indians (MI), who holds the record for most IPL titles (four) owing to a brilliant last over by Lasith Malinga as the game ended in Mumbai’s favor at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
Dhoni could be short on match practice as he has been in a sabbatical from competitive cricket since the 2019 Men’s World Cup where India crashed out in the semi-final after losing to New Zealand.

The CSK skipper hasn’t been picked for India in the limited-overs formats since then with India preferring Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul as the wicket-keeper batsmen in the ODIs and T20Is. The latter has been doing pretty well in limited-overs cricketer.
