As a build-up to the upcoming 13th season VIVO IPL, Star Sports, India’s leading sports broadcaster began a series of programming for fans of the IPL with a special show titled ‘Return of the Lion’ featuring the much adored and respected former Indian captain, MS Dhoni. The new show saw its airing on March 3rd and covered some exclusive footage of Team CSK’s return to their home ground and Dhoni’s net sessions.

Dhoni had taken a sabbatical from cricket ever since the World Cup in July 2019 and since then, the cricketing world has been anxiously waiting for his return. With IPL 2020 starting March 29th in Mumbai, Dhoni was welcomed back with open arms by the fans of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Cheupak Stadium as he resumed training ahead of what is predicted to be his IPL swansong.
