NEW DELHI: Ahead of the much-anticipated clash between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants, the CSK camp showcased a glimpse of their preparation on social media.
A video posted on the official CSK handle featured none other than the iconic
Mahendra Singh Dhoni
, along with Sameer Rizvi, displaying their big-hitting abilities in the nets.
Prior to the face-off at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Dhoni was seen unleashing powerful strokes, reminiscent of the legendary Thala's trademark sixes.

In their previous encounter, despite Dhoni's heroics with the bat, LSG emerged victorious over CSK.
Dhoni's innings of 28 off just nine balls showcased his ability to turn the game around single-handedly. While his aggressive intent and formidable hitting have been a source of inspiration for cricket enthusiasts worldwide, CSK will look to use that inspiration as an impetus to amass a positive result.
