Named after Maharana Pratap’s legendary warhorse, Chetak relishes the expansive green landscapes of Dhoni’s farmhouse. Crafted with precision over three years, the farmhouse serves as a luxurious and serene retreat for the sportsman and his family. The former India skipper has a big barn back in his farmhouse for his favourite pets.

Will MS Dhoni play the whole IPL in 2024?

As in the recent retention process, the Chennai Super Kings retained skipper MS Dhoni for the upcoming season. Dhoni will be leading the Men in Yellow for the 17th straight season and will be keen to lead them to another glory. However, his participation stays in jeopardy because of his knee surgery.

Dhoni is still recovering from it, and he might be looking to get some rest too. However, CSK fans will be keen to get their captain back on the field soon. It’s worth noting that the player auction for IPL 2024 will take place on December 19 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. It will be the first time since its launch that the IPL will hold an auction outside India.
