‘Thala vs King’: MS Dhoni to take on Virat Kohli in IPL 2024 opener, Tomorrow

The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will kick off on March 22 in Chennai. Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), led by ‘Thala’ MS Dhoni, will take on fan Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at home.

This will be King Kohli’s return to cricket after nearly two months. For personal reasons, he opted out of the India vs England Test series. Now, we know that Virat and his wife Anushka Sharma were expecting their second child during that time.

Even Dhoni will be back in action after a break. He was last seen in action at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad 10 months back. On May 28, Mahi led his team to a historic fifth IPL title. IPL 2024 may turn out to be significant as Dhoni is likely to retire after this season.
