Despite retiring from international cricket in 2020 and last playing in the 2019 World Cup, MS Dhoni remains a popular and widely discussed cricketer not just in India but around the world. The only time fans can currently see him play is during the Indian Premier League (IPL) when he represents the Chennai Super Kings. Ahead of the IPL 2023 season, photos of Dhoni from a recent practice session went viral on social media, marking the first time fans had seen him play cricket since the 2022 IPL season. One photo showed Dhoni emerging from practice, sporting a "Salt & Pepper Look." The 2023 IPL season may also be Dhoni's last.
