IPL 2021: [Watch] MS Dhoni and his CSK teammates participate in a fun football drill during a practice session

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) players indulged in a fun football drill during their latest practice session in Dubai. Skipper MS Dhoni also participated in the game and put on an impressive performance.

Chennai Super Kings were one of the first IPL teams to set foot in the UAE last month ahead of the second half of the tournament. CSK players have been hitting the nets regularly over the past couple of weeks to get back into rhythm, as most of the squad members were not that active in international cricket.

The Chennai franchise recently took to their official Instagram handle to share a video to give fans a glimpse of the team's training sessions in Dubai. In the video, fans can see MS Dhoni and his teammates indulging in a football drill. CSK captioned the post:

"Unstoppable ⚽ aweTOM on the rally! #WhistlePodu #Yellove 🦁💛"

MS Dhoni's side had a good run during the first half of the IPL in March. They were in the second position in the points table when the tournament was suspended due to the COVID-19 crisis in the country.
