Mumbai: Virender Sehwag expects this year’s IPL to be extra special and a major reason for that is Mahendra Singh Dhoni getting back on the pitch after announcing his international retirement following a year-long sabbatical from the game.
The IPL will get underway from September 19 in the UAE, moved out of India due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I think this tournament will be extra special for everyone – the players as well as the audience…watching Dhoni back on the pitch is sure to be a delight. There’s so much in store, need I say more? Sehwag, who will be co-hosting a show ‘Power Play with Champions’ on Flipkart Video, said.
Dhoni, who surprised everyone with his decision to call it quits from international cricket in mid-August, will be back in action when he leads the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.
CSK will take on defending champions Mumbai Indians in the lung-opener of the league in Abu Dhabi on 19 September.
