MS Dhoni’s IPL 2024 Journey Comes to an End as CSK Gets Eliminated
In a shocking turn of events, MS Dhoni’s journey in IPL 2024 has come to an end as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) got eliminated from the Playoffs race after a defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a do-or-die match. According to reports, Dhoni is planning to visit London for treatment of a muscle tear injury, and will decide on his future course of action post-recovery.
This marks only the third time in IPL history that the five-time champions won’t feature in the playoffs. The defending champions suffered a 27-run defeat at the hands of RCB, leading to speculation about Dhoni’s future in the league.
CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan has addressed the retirement rumors, stating that there have been no discussions in the dressing room about it. He mentioned that Dhoni will inform the team about his decision when he is ready, and until then, they will not interfere.
Sources close to the development revealed that Dhoni will be deciding about his retirement only after undergoing surgery in London for his muscle tear. Despite the setback, Dhoni has kept his cards close to his heart and headed back home after the match on Sunday.
With fans and experts speculating that this could be Dhoni’s final season for the franchise, the veteran cricketer’s future in the IPL remains uncertain. As CSK wraps up their campaign in the league, all eyes are on Dhoni’s next move post-recovery.
