At present, Dhoni hardly remains active on Twitter or Instagram. He is currently gearing up for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition where he will once again lead the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The four-time winners had a miserable run in IPL 2022, finishing ninth, and, hence, will be desperate for a revamp this time around.
CSK will open their campaign against defending champions Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans (GT) in the season-opener on March 31, in Ahmedabad.
