It is time for the fans of the Indian cricket team to finally forget about the awful run that Virat Kohli and the rest of the Men in Blue are going through in New Zealand, as news of Mahendra Singh Dhoni returning to the pitch, has finally come out. 

Dhoni, who has not played a single game of cricket for the national team, his city or any other club ever since Indiaâs loss to New Zealand in the semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2019, will reportedly start practising for the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League with the rest of his Chennai Super Kings teammates from next week.

After the exciting final contest between Dhoniâs CSK and Rohit Sharmaâs Mumbai Indians, which went on till the final delivery of the tournament, the new season is scheduled to open with the same match-up.

Dhoniâs unwillingness to return to the national team and postpone his comeback month after month, led to many Indian fans getting frustrated. Meanwhile, his replacement as the wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pantâs constant screwups, only made them miss him more.
