The fifteenth edition of the Indian Premier League is set to start on March 26th at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the first encounter. Meanwhile, a few players have been catching up at the practise sessions before the season begins. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted as MS Dhoni and Faf du Plessis catch up during practice before IPL 2022.
MS Dhoni and Faf du Plessis catch up during practice before IPL 2022
Faf du Plessis enjoys a special bond with Chennai Super Kings. He started his IPL career with CSK and in recent years, Faf has been the best batter for the franchise. The South African also has a great relationship with former CSK skipper MS Dhoni.
However, at the IPL 2022 Mega-Auctions, although they tried, CSK could not buy back Faf du Plessis. Royal Challengers Bangalore hired the cricketer and even made him the skipper of the franchise.
Now, ahead of the season opener, CSK and RCB players met at a practice session that was happening at a common ground. While the CSK fans were excited with the reunion of Faf du Plessis and his former CSK mates, the Indian cricket fans were thrilled with the latest picture of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli together.
CSK will play the first game of the season and on the second day, RCB will open its season with the match against Punjab Kings. The game will start at 7:30 pm on March 27th.
Twitter reacts to the reunion
Meanwhile, Twitter was brim with reactions as soon as CSK posted a few photographs of Faf du Plessis and MS Dhoni together. A few CSK fans reminisced the time when the South African was at the franchise. Here are a few more reactions in this regard:

It's not easy to forget the old franchise especially if the bond has had spread over a decade
No matter what Dhoni and Faf have always been together since 2011
Even in the 2016-17 the bond was still there— Amaan Sarwar (@AmaanSarwar4) March 25, 2022
Their Bond 💛💛
And Faf's stare on Dhoni in 3rd cap🥺💛 https://t.co/pANAoQBPXU— Believe in Urself🎯🧚💫 (@KSushmaRK) March 25, 2022
It’s wrong that Faf is with RCB. They should’ve bid for faf and got him back or not retained dhoni if he’s not playing a lot this year. And then bought him in the auction
