The IPL began on Saturday with the matches of Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indian. CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was returning to the ground after 14 months of the World Cup in July last year, appeared in a joking mood. Before the toss, he said that we wanted to know whether due to social distancing, we would also be able to keep the first slip in the IPL.
In fact, during the toss, Dhoni, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma and match referee Manu Nayyar all stood distance following social distancing. That's why Dhoni said this in a pinch.
