By Odisha Sports Bureau On Oct 6, 2021

Dubai: Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni hinted that he will be playing his farewell game, hopefully in front of fans at the franchise’s home city – Chennai. Dhoni promised fans that they will be able to bid farewell to him after having announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020 in an unforeseen manner.

Despite hanging up his boots from international cricket, MS Dhoni has continued to play for Chennai Super Kings in IPL. The CSK captain, a 3-time winner of the IPL, said last year that he was “definitely not” going to hang up his boots after IPL 2020 despite the team missing out on a play-offs berth for the first time in their history.

MS Dhoni has been leading CSK in IPL 2021. After making a promise that CSK will come back stronger in IPL 2021, Dhoni delivered on it as he led the 3-time champions to the play-offs. CSK are at the 2nd spot with 18 points with one more league stage-match left as they look to finish in the top 2.

MS Dhoni has not played in Chennai since IPL 2019 as the following season was held in the UAE. CSK did not play in Chennai in the first leg of IPL 2021 and the remainder of the season was moved out of India due to Covid-19 concerns.
