MS Dhoni on Monday received a rousing reception at the the MA Chidambaram Stadium during his first training session with Chennai Super Kings ahead of his much-anticipated return to action in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

 Dhoni returned to training amid never-ending speculation on his career, which has been on hold since last year''s ODI World Cup.

 Chants of "Dhoni, Dhoni...." were heard as he entered the MA Chidambaram Stadium and he obliged his fans with some big hits during the net session.
Earlier Dhoni arrived here on Sunday night. Fans welcomed him at the airport. Chennai Super Kings shared a video of this on Twitter, in which the guard standing at the gate greets him when Dhoni gets down from the car. Dhoni answers this by shaking hands with the guard.
