Former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni, has been known for enjoying an immense amount of love from his fans in the country, but he maintains a low profile on social media. At a time when cricketing action in India has come to a halt, Dhoni’s die-hard fans more than ever keep on scrolling through social media to get a glimpse of their favorite player, without much success.
However, on Friday the former India skipper finally appeared on social media in a viral video, uploaded by Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Dhoni’s IPL franchise shared the video on their various social media platforms, including Twitter and Instagram.

Captioning the video on Twitter, CSK wrote: “The much-needed pawsitivity at 7! #Thala @msdhoni #WhistlePodu”. In the video, Dhoni appeared in a new look, which was hugely discussed by his fans. In the video, he can be seen waving towards someone while looking at the screen, which seems like a video call.

As soon as CSK posted the video, Dhoni’s fans started praising his new look while others hoping to see him back on the ground and do what he does the best — hit fours and sixes. He has been on a sabbatical from competitive cricket since July last year and was supposed to return to the field during IPL 2020, but unfortunately, the cash-rich league has been postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite losing its regular April-May window for the IPL, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to take a final call on the tournament this year.

Talking to India Today about the future of the tournament, Ganguly said, “We don’t want the year 2020 to finish without an IPL. Our first priority is India and even if we get 35 to 40 days, we will host it. But we don’t know where…It is a very important tournament for India. Our target is to host it in India across four-five venues. If not, then having it overseas is an option.”
