Be it scintillating maximums, unrivalled bowling depth, or effortless fielding, the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was definitely one to savour. As the world gears up to witness another set of nerve-wracking 20-over encounters starting March 31, the T20 cricket enigma has seemed to only get the better of us. The 52-day tournament will bring back all the intensity, rivalries, and buzz among cricket fans from across the globe. With some of the biggest names in the roster, this year's IPL will draw even more attention as it will be played on home and away basis in India.
It is no secret that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni and all-rounder Dwayne Bravo are best of friends on and off the field. In a video shared by the franchise, Dhoni is seen to be poking fun at Bravo, while teaching him how to whistle. 'Captain Cool' was in a jovial mood and it reflected in the video as he and Bravo could not stop laughing at each other's attempts to whistle properly.
