Dhoni played the last IPL with a knee injury which hindered his ability to run between the wickets. In June, Dhoni underwent surgery at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai.
Last December, CEO Kasi Viswanathan provided an update on Dhoni's recovery and said, “He [Dhoni] is doing well now. He has started his rehab and is working in the gym.” (WATCH: Dhruv Jurel Does A MS Dhoni, Predicts Ollie Pope's Next Move And Helps Kuldeep Yadav Dismiss Batter In IND Vs ENG 5th Test)
Ahead of the new season, Dhoni dropped a hint at a new possible role while expressing his excitement and wrote on Facebook, “Can't wait for the new season and the new 'role'. Stay tuned.”
CSK's preparatory camp began on March 2, with the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Mukesh Choudhary and Prashant Solanki joining the camp at Chepauk. CSK suffered an injury blow before the beginning of the season as New Zealand opener Devon Conway is expected to miss at least the first half of the tournament after undergoing thumb surgery. Conways sustained a blow on his finger during New Zealand's third T20I against Australia.
CSK will kick off their campaign against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first game of the IPL 2024, at Chepauk, on March 22.
