CSK skipper MS Dhoni – who is endorsing Chinese mobile brand Oppo – finds himself in the middle of controversy even before the cash-rich Indian Premier League has started. In the wake of the Galwan Valley clash, where 30 Indian bravehearts were martyred, there was a backlash IPL title sponsors VIVO faced, as it is a Chinese product.
Despite announcing his international retirement last month, there has been no dip in the stocks of the 39-year old. He continues to be the most popular cricketer in the country. Dhoni – who does not spend a lot of time on social media – may actually be unaware of the development.
The man we’ve missed on the cricket field, the Captain Extraordinaire MS Dhoni is here to inspire us to fight all hindrances, get back on our feet and #BeTheInfinite with the new #OPPOReno4Pro. Get ready for the release of this emotional ride on 24th September! pic.twitter.com/TgQ97MpuoY

Dhoni – who would be playing a cricket match after 400 days – would have eyes on him to see what kind of form he hits early on in the tournament.
Meanwhile, there is good news for CSK fans as young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has tested negative for the coronavirus and will undergo another test within 24 hours before being allowed to join the team bio-security bubble. The Shiekh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi will play host to the IPL 13 opener.
The Irony Of The Case
The Cricket fans have been waiting for the comeback of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the field and this season of Indian Premier League has given the fans an opportunity to see him again in the field. So, they are very much excited about the tournament. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has waited one year before announcing his retirement from international cricket.
The fans have expected that the star wicketkeeper-batsman will be seen to play for team India in the next T20 World Cup before announcing his comeback. However, the T20 World Cup has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has thought that it will be better to give opportunities to the youngsters. So, the star player has decided to announce his retirement ahead of this season of Indian Premier League.
