Ahead of the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (or MS Dhoni) aka MSD & Mahi Bhai enjoyed a bit of spray paint on a sunny morning in Chennai.
Mahi along with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) manager Russell Radhakrishnan, took a stroll around one of the stands at the MA Chidambaram Stadium – the iconic venue in Chennai which is set to host the games for the first time since 2019.
During this time, the legendary cricketer was spotted with yellow and blue spray paint cans and painted a few chairs at the stadium. Taking to Twitter, the official page of CSK shared a video of Dhoni involved in the job and amused by the effectiveness of the paint on the chairs.
“‘Looking Yellove’ Anbuden Awaiting for April 3,”
CSK wrote in the caption of the post.
