MS Dhoni, Faf du Plessis, Hardik Pandya, Nitish Rana, Shikhar Dhawan, Sanju Samson, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, David Warner, and KL Rahul were present.
Surprisingly, Rohit Sharma was not present. However, now an image has gone viral where Dhoni was seen talking with Samson, Pandya, and Du Plessis.

MS Dhoni has been the talismanic leader for Chennai over the years in the Indian T20 League
Not only for this franchise, but he was a top-notch skipper for the Men in Blue also. Dhoni won the 20-20 World Cup in 2007, 50-over World Cup in 2011, and the Champions Trophy in 2013. He even led the team to the top during his tenure in the red ball format of the game. Hence, MS Dhoni has always impressed his fans with his majestic captaincy. Now, this year also, Chennai fans will hope for another top season as the skipper from Dhoni.
However, some reports came out on the eve of the opening game of the tournament. Reports suggested that MS Dhoni might miss the game as he has been feeling some discomfort in his left knee. He even felt discomfort while batting during the intra-squad game. The former team India skipper was seen limping off to the crease and wearing a kneecap also. But, the CEO of the Chennai franchise, Kasi Viswanathan dismissed such reports as he said: "As far as I am concerned, the skipper is 100 percent playing. I don't know about any other development."
Here is how fans have reacted to the viral image of Dhoni talking with other captains:
