MS Dhoni returned to action during the opening match of IPL 2020, ending the wait for millions of fans around the world. MS Dhoni’s wife, Sakshi, shared a photo on her Instagram story of Dhoni with a microphone in hand after winning the draw against the Mumbai Indians. In the picture, Dhoni looked fitter than ever on the pitch and his biceps caught the attention of Murali Karthik who was present at the pitch along with the match referee. Dhoni sported a new beard style and, like many, Sakshi was also impressed by Dhoni’s new look. Tagging him on his Instagram story, he wrote: “How handsome!”

After CSK won the draw and opted to go bowling, Karthik asked Dhoni how he used the time away from cricket during the running of the bulls, to which he replied that he was free to take time to stay in shape. He even praised all the team members for using their time well.
“Please have the freedom during the lockdown to take time for yourself to stay in shape. I have to applaud all team members for using their time well,” Dhoni said at the launch.
Dhoni, playing his first competitive game in more than a year, was present in the middle when Faf du Plessis hit the limit of victory as CSK defeated the defending champions Mumbai Indians by five wickets to begin their 2020 IPL campaign. .

It was Dhoni’s first match since announcing his retirement from international cricket on August 15 and he looked as smart as before. While he didn’t have much to do with the bat, his bowling changes and field locations were spot on and paid dividends throughout the game.
However, CSK fans would hope their favorite player can use those extra muscles in his next game against the Rajasthan Royals at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on September 22.
