Fans cheer for MS Dhoni during IPL 2023
IPL 2024: The cricket world waits in anticipation for the Indian Premier League's 17th edition. As the league returns, it will bring along its defending champions draped in yellow, led by the man who wears the legendary number 7 shirt. Many believe it to be Captain Cool's last dance, but the world never knows what goes around MS Dhoni's heart and mind. Chennai Super Kings along with Mumbai Indians have won most IPL titles and if it happens to be Dhoni's swansong, he will have to defy all the odds to bow out as the most successful captain in the history of IPL.
MS Dhoni, Chennai's adopted son, the leader of the Dad's Army looks perfectly ready to give other captains a run for the coveted IPL title and retain CSK's crown. On February 20, 2008, Chennai Super Kings picked up their favourite son and the rest is history. The former team India captain has carved out a historic chapter for himself and his association with the Chennai Super Kings , a legacy that will passed on to the generations yet to come.
When Chennai Super Kings won their fifth IPL title in 2023, almost everybody predicted Dhoni rumoured retirement ideas but just as quick as he is with his stumpings, the CSK skipper announced that he has few more helicopter shots left in his armoury and will be returning for IPL 2024. As far as Dhoni's association with CSK goes, he has played many roles for the franchise. MSD is a mentor, their finisher, wicketkeeper and above everything a seasoned mentor who knows how to get the best out of everyone in his vicinity.
