MS Dhoni Spotted at Madurai Panthers vs Kovai Kings at Tamil Nadu Premier League Match (Video & Pics)

Former Indian captain MS Dhoni was spotted at the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) yesterday. Since the fans were not expecting the arrival of Dhoni for the match, it wouldn't be wrong to say that the attendees at the  Tirunelveli’s Indian Cement Company Ground were taken aback by his presence. The right-hander made an appearance when Madurai Panthers took on Kovai Kings. Dhoni also promised the fans that he will improve his Tamil vocabulary by next year of the IPL.

“What brings me here is the TNPL (Tamil Nadu Premier League), of course, to start off. Every time I play IPL, I learn Tamil and once the tournament ends I have to start from scratch again. I will make sure that by next edition of IPL, I’ll learn a bit of Tamil,” PTI quoted Dhoni as saying. Here’s a video of Dhoni trying his hands on Tamil.

Here’s a video of Dhoni interacting with a few dignitaries ahead of his arrival into the stadium.

Dhoni even clicked a few pictures with the players of Kovai Kings.

Dhoni at the stadium also stated Tirunelveli is a special place for him. “Also this is a special place, this is where India Cements started. 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 added. “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 further added.
