The 13th edition of the Indian premier league (IPL) is finally underway with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Mumbai Indians (MI) in the much-awaited opening match of the tournament. While fans are very much thrilled with the return of MS Dhoni back on the cricketing pitch, Sakshi Dhoni also joined her voice to see her hubby back in action for the CSK.
Ahead of the IPL 2020, Dhoni had announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15 and made his comeback to the field for the first time in over 14 months.
The veteran wicket-keeper batsman was last played in India's semi-final exit from the 2019 World Cup against New Zealand.
Sakshi took to Instagram and wrote, "Hey Handsome" while posting a photograph of Dhoni.
CSK skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and welcomed Rohit Sharma's Mumbai to bowl first.
Batting first, Mumbai Indians went on to post a respectable total of 162 runs with the loss of 9 wickets. On the chase, CSK lost their opener, Shane Watson, in the first over as Tent Boult struck for MI.
