Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are primed for a showdown against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2024 clash at the historic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 8, Monday. Preparing for the anticipated duel, former CSK skipper MS Dhoni has been honing his skills at the nets. Dhoni, the seasoned campaigner, has displayed glimpses of his batting prowess in the ongoing IPL season.

In the face-off against Delhi Capitals, MS Dhoni showcased his mettle with an unbeaten 37 off just 16 balls, smashing four boundaries and three maximums. However, in the subsequent match versus Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 42-year-old had limited action, facing only a couple of deliveries and scoring a solitary run. Notably, Chennai tasted defeat in both encounters.
