MC Stan rose to prominence after winning the Salman Khan hosted reality show, Big Boss 16. He is a well-known figure in the rap industry who holds a massive following of 10.7 million on Instagram.

Cricket fans across the world are excited to see Dhoni’s return in the upcoming IPL 2024, which is expected to commence on 22 March. Last season, the 2011 World Cup-winning captain led CSK to their fifth IPL title after winning over the then Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans in 2023.

Earlier in 2023, Dhoni underwent knee surgery. Currently, the player is going through rehab and he is expected to be fit ahead of IPL 2024.

Meanwhile, CSK in the recent IPL auction 2024 managed to pick some impactful players. After engaging in fiery bidding wars with other franchises, CSK bagged star players from World Cup 2023 like Rachin Ravindra (Rs 1.8 crore) and Daryl Mitchell (Rs 14 crore). 

The MS Dhoni-led side is also excited about India’s star bowling all-rounder, Shardul Thakur’s return to the team. They bought Shardul for Rs 4 crore.
