The Chennai Super Kings captain, MS Dhoni, is anticipated to join the pre-season training camp next week, while the remainder of the squad (excluding overseas stars) commenced preparations on Saturday for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) edition.
Dhoni, who led CSK to their fifth IPL title last year, is presently in Jamnagar, Gujarat, participating in the pre-wedding festivities of Mukesh Ambani’s son, Anant, and Radhika Merchant. The three-day event began on March 1 and will conclude on March 3, with numerous other cricketing icons also attending the grand occasion.
Significantly, Chahar has been absent from cricketing action since December of last year, when he withdrew from the T20 series against Australia midway through, and subsequently opted out of the South Africa tour due to his father’s illness. Nonetheless, he confirmed his full fitness last month during his training stint at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
The pace bowler, who has faced injury setbacks in the past, is aiming to make a comeback to the national team for the T20 World Cup, slated to be held in the Caribbean and the USA in June.
