At 43 years old, MS Dhoni continues to brave the challenges and impress cricket fans with his remarkable performances. In the IPL 2024 season, the former CSK captain displayed a return to his vintage form, reminding everyone why he is still a formidable force to be reckoned with in the cricketing world.

In the last season, the veteran, having undergone arthroscopy surgery, batted exclusively in the death overs. Despite this, he continued to thrive with his explosive cameos, scoring 161 runs in 14 matches. The senior pro remained unbeaten in eight innings at an impressive batting average of 53.67.
The experienced campaigner sported long hair, which added a nostalgic touch, but the real highlight was his improved fitness. After struggling with a knee issue in IPL 2023, he worked hard on his recovery. In the subsequent season, he moved more freely and looked fitter than ever.
Meanwhile, an old video clip from IPL 2023 has resurfaced online, which shows MS Dhoni wearing a knee pad in the dressing room. During that season, the experienced cricketer was dealing with significant knee issues but managed to play through the entire tournament. It was only after the season concluded that he underwent surgery to address the issue.
