Dhoni welcomes back CSK in his own style
What's the story
Former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni welcomed the team back to IPL after a two year suspension. Dhoni posted a photo of himself wearing the team's yellow colour jersey, with his number '7' printed on it, along with the Tamil word 'Thala', which translates to 'leader.' Having captained the team for eight years, Dhoni's gesture came as no surprise for the fans.
