The former India skipper MS Dhoni is arguably the coolest cricketer on and off the pitch and he has once again proved it. He recently shut down a critic in a very subtle but effective way as he continues to gear up for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League starting from March 29. Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will play the tournament opener against defending champions Mumbai Indians.
The legendary cricketer returned to training on March 2 in a bid to prepare for the 13th season of the cash-rich league. He has looked in the groove right from the onset amidst huge turnouts at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, who has come to see their favourite star train. MS Dhoni hasn’t disappointed the fans looking into a rhythm and timing the ball from the middle of the bat.

However, there were a lot of speculations on his career after the 38-year-old decided to take a break after the World Cup exit. But even though he stayed away from international cricket, he faced criticism as many took shots at him for taking the break. But MS Dhoni has hit back at the critics in the latest commercial ahead of the cash-rich league.
In the commercial, a couple is seen poking fun at MS Dhoni while sitting beside him in a plane. The wicket-keeper batsman then brilliantly shut them down by putting on his headphones before taking a dig at the passengers for creating too much noise around him. The #KhelBolega campaign was shared by the official broadcasters of the IPL season 13 across all social media platforms on Monday.
