Along with this, 40-year-old Dhoni also put an end to the speculation about his play in this lucrative T20 league next year.
During the toss of the final match of the current season of Super Kings against Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni said, “Definitely I will play next year. It would be unfair to say no to Chennai, not to play in Chennai. This is not going to be a good treatment for Super Kings fans. ,
“Whether 2023 will be my last year or not, we have to see,” he said.
There is no dearth of fans of former Indian captain Dhoni in Tamil Nadu. Some time back, a post went viral on social media in which one of his fans was painting his house in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu in Chennai Super Kings yellow color and had Dhoni’s pictures on the wall.
Dhoni’s reply to a letter from a disappointed Super Kings fan two days back won the hearts of the people.
The ongoing IPL season has been one of the worst campaigns for the four-time champions Super Kings and the team was knocked out of the play-offs race long back.
Most of the senior players of Super Kings like Dhoni (206 runs), Ambati Rayudu (271) and Robin Uthappa (230) did not have a good current season which was the main reason for the team’s failure.
Apart from this, the team also missed the injured fast bowler Deepak Chahar and the team failed to add Josh Hazlewood as well.
