“From this moment onwards, consider me retired”, MS Dhoni had said when he retired from international cricket in 2020. Fans were anticipating that the legendary cricketer would repeat these words while holding the IPL trophy as captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Monday night. But Dhoni, true to form, did the unexpected!
He didn’t announce his retirement from IPL, instead, he expressed a desire to play in the next season too.
Instead of opting to give a fairy-tale ending to his career after leading the CSK to lift the coveted IPL trophy for the fifth time, he vowed to return for ‘at least’ one more season for the sake of his fans, though he added the proviso that it was subject to his body ‘allowing’ it.
