MS Dhoni is gearing up for another stint with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as they aim for consecutive IPL titles. Recently, the CSK captain was spotted honing his skills with a bat adorned with a Prime Sports sticker, a company owned by his childhood friend, Paramjit Singh, who played a pivotal role in shaping Dhoni’s early cricketing journey.
Paramjit’s influence, stemming from their days in Ranchi, has been instrumental in Dhoni’s career, including securing his first bat sponsorship. This bond between Dhoni and Paramjit has garnered significant attention on social media, especially with glimpses of their recent practice sessions circulating online.
Paramjit’s support for Dhoni was also highlighted in the movie MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, further underscoring their deep-rooted connection and its impact on Dhoni’s trajectory.

Retained by CSK for the upcoming IPL 2024 season, Dhoni will resume his leadership duties for the franchise. CSK’s triumph in the IPL 2023 final against the Gujarat Titans (GT), clinching victory by five wickets via the DLS method, showcased Dhoni’s prowess as a captain and a player.
In the IPL 2023 final showdown, GT amassed a formidable total of 214/4 in their allotted 20 overs, with Sai Sudharsan leading the charge with an impressive 96 off 47 balls. Despite Matheesha Pathirana’s two-wicket haul for CSK, GT set a daunting target of 215 runs.
However, owing to the DLS method, CSK’s revised target was 171 runs, which they achieved comfortably, reaching 171/5 in just 15 overs, with Shivam Dube’s unbeaten 32* off 21 balls playing a crucial role. Mohit Sharma’s three-wicket haul for GT added a twist to the thrilling encounter, but CSK emerged victorious, clinching the title.
Dhoni’s legacy extends beyond the IPL, with his illustrious career marked by numerous accolades and triumphs. Widely regarded as one of cricket’s greatest captains, Dhoni led the Indian team to glory in various international tournaments, including the 2011 World Cup, 2007 T20 World Cup, and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, a feat unmatched by any other captain.
Under his stewardship, India also claimed victory in the Asia Cup in 2010 and 2016, further solidifying Dhoni’s status as a legendary figure in the cricketing world. Having made his mark in first-class cricket for Bihar in 1999, Dhoni’s journey culminated in his debut for the Indian national team on December 23, 2004, in an ODI encounter against Bangladesh.
A year later, he made his Test debut against Sri Lanka, embarking on a remarkable career that continues to inspire cricketing enthusiasts worldwide.
