“Also this is a special place, this is where India Cements started,” added Dhoni, who led Chennai Super Kings to a third crown in the 2018 Indian Premier League to level with Mumbai Indians for most titles.
“I have been with them (India Cements) for a long time so, this gives me an opportunity to come and see the first Plant over here,” he continued. “Along with that, every year I come down and watch a few games of the TNPL, this is the first game I will be watching this year in person.
Looks like challenging conditions here with the kind of breeze blowing,” he concluded.
