IPL 2021: Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni was seen in Chennai before his departure to the UAE ahead of the IPL 2021. With the dates of the IPL 2021 Phase 2 out, the franchises have set the ball rolling to set up camps in the UAE ahead of the September 19 start. MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will be the first to leave on 13th August while Punjab Kings will set up camp in the desert country on August 29, both franchises confirmed to InsideSport.

Indian Premier League’s one of the most successful teams, Chennai Super Kings lead by MS Dhoni, have had a great start to the IPL 2021 after a disappointing IPL 2020. Placed 2nd on the points table with five wins from 7 matches, MS Dhoni & Co will look to capitalize on that start.
