Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are made for each other. CSK returned to the Indian Premier League (IPL) after serving two-year ban and their 'Thala' Dhoni didn't disappoint them. Dhoni led the yellow brigade to the IPL 2018 Playoffs in style. The two-time champions CSK finished the league stage at number two on the points table with 9 wins and 5 defeats. Playing their last match of the league stage against Kings XI Punjab, CSK outplayed the visitors by five wickets.
After the win, Dhoni posed for a photograph with the CSK's cheer group.
Apart from Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Shane Watson also posed with the dancers.
