Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper, MS Dhoni is currently playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the second leg of the tournament in the UAE. He has a lot of experience up his sleeves and the youngsters, every now and then, try to pick his brains discussing various cricketing things. Sunday was no different in Dubai as Dhoni was seen giving some tips to the youngsters from the Mumbai Indians team.

All the three players belong to Jharkhand and as usual, the CSK skipper was seen giving valuable tips to the young players. It was MS Dhoni who trapped Kishan in the second innings by putting a fielder at the short extra cover for his uppish drive and the latter fell into the trap.
