MS Dhoni (Source: Twitter)
Legendary cricketer MS Dhoni was spotted showing off his biceps during a net session at the Chennai Franchise camp as he prepared for the 2023 Indian T20 League (ITL). Former India captain MS Dhoni, one of the biggest personalities in cricket, will play competitive cricket again in the upcoming Indian T20 League season. Dhoni's Chennai had a forgettable season in the league last year despite being champions in four iterations of the richest T20 competition in the world.

Before the ITL 2023, Dhoni, who has a big fan base, mesmerised them with his crazy fitness. Before the ITL 2023, Chennai's official social media account released a sneak preview of Dhoni's ITL 2023 preparations to their fans on Instagram. "ICYMI, the easter egg from last night, here is the original #WhistlePodu #Yellove," Chennai captioned their post on the photo and video sharing platform.
Chennai will face Gujarat in the season opener on March 31
The recent post by Chennai about Thala Dhoni quickly gained popularity among game enthusiasts. "Age left the chat," a fan complimented Dhoni on the Facebook-owned platform. "Man, are you kidding? Is he really 41? "said another admirer. Around 546k people have already liked Dhoni's trending post on the photo and video-sharing website.
On March 31, four-time winners Chennai will begin their ITL 2023 campaign under Dhoni's direction. At Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, Chennai will play the defending champions Gujarat, led by Hardik Pandya. As Dhoni's Chennai barely finished ahead of Mumbai in the league standings, Pandya led Gujarat to their first ITL title in their debut season.
In the 10-team event the previous year, Chennai ended the season placed ninth. Out of 14 league games, the Yellow Brigade only managed to win four. Following Ravindra Jadeja's resignation from the position of team captain at the end of the previous season, Dhoni was reappointed. He has participated in 234 ITL games, earning him the title of the player with the most appearances in the tournament's history. In the lucrative league, the 41-year-old has 4978 runs in his career.
Here's how fans reacted to MS Dhoni's fitness:
To some extent , he is right. Nowadays players want to look like models. Sachin, sehwag, Ganguly, jadega, Dhoni, Kapil Dev and many more. Fantastic player without 6 pack abs. Fitness is associated with biceps, triceps snx six pack. Core strengthing and stamia is lacking

What is SC investigating then ? Is the SC appointed committee investigating how MS Dhoni developed big biceps before IPL ?

Lots of people popping up seeing #Dhoni bulking up

I think it was #msdhoni himself who proved big biceps or muscles is the last thing you need to play great #Cricket
Muscles and bulk is not #Fitness
He picked skinny fit and agile fellas for the squad

Absolutely. Dhoni is a Ranchi boy like me and I have heard anecdotes of how as a 15 year old DAV school student he could hit the (canvas) ball so hard that it would split open on hitting a wall!!

HE doesn’t need to display his biceps to tell us his “power” as Mr Bhogle says.
Ball seedha boundary se bahar
