According to a report from MyKhel, the legendary former India and CSK captain will return to Chennai on February 25 to begin his pre-season training. “MS Dhoni is likely to be in Chennai on February 25 for the IPL. He was abroad for a long time but now he will be with CSK,” a source revealed.

### **Dhoni’s Fitness: Ready for Another Season**

“Dhoni is fully fit. He has been training diligently and following a strict fitness regimen. Comparing a 43-year-old’s fitness with that of a 23-year-old isn’t fair, but even now, Mahi is fitter than many youngsters,” the source added.

### **MS Dhoni’s IPL 2024 Performance**

Last season, Dhoni was phenomenal, scoring 161 runs in 14 matches at an impressive average of 53 and a staggering strike rate of 220. His impact on the team, both as a player and mentor, remains crucial for CSK’s success.
