Dhoni’s IPL 2020 practice
Now, since IPL 2020 is about to begin, reports are going around that Dhoni will begin his practice from the 2nd March. Dhoni will be accompanied by Suresh Raina as well. The entire CSK squad will most probably start their practice later. One of the primary reasons he is practicing early is because of his non-participation in any of the T20s since the World Cup.
