Team India and Australia are currently battling it out in the third and final ODI of the series at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While talking about Chennai’s iconic Chepauk ground, it is simply an arduous task to refrain from bringing up the topic of MS Dhoni. The legendary Indian cricketer’s memorable association with the stadium is known to all and the official Twitter handle of Chennai Super Kings once again resuscitated the bonding by sharing a picture of Dhoni. In a Twitter post, shared by the franchise, the former India skipper could be seen sitting in the dugout designated for Team India at the Chepauk. “Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon,” the Chennai-based side tweeted referring to a famous Bollywood song that Dhoni had used in the video announcing his retirement.
