WATCH | MS Dhoni spotted in new look in IPL 2022 promo as Star Sports shares teaser

Former India captain MS Dhoni, who has announced his retirement from international cricket in August 2020, looked stunning in his brand new look in a sneak peek of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) promo, shared by the host broadcaster Star Sports. In the promos, Dhoni was seen donning a khaki shirt and a pant, in what appears to be a bus driver's uniform. He also had a mustache, and was sometimes spotted wearing funky sunglasses.

Dhoni had turned himself into a monk for a few promos, ahead of the start of IPL 2021. He sported a bald look then, and was seen giving children a lesson on how greed is good if it brings continuous success. The promo went viral on social media that time as well.

Here are some glimpses of Dhoni's new look:

Dhoni will be leading the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after being retained by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2022 auction earlier this month. The tournament will begin on March 26, and the matches will be played across four venues in Mumbai and Pune.

For the upcoming season, the 10 teams, including the two new franchises -- Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Gujarat Titans (GT) -- have been pooled into two groups, containing five teams each. CSK are in Group B, along with SunRisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans.
