Regardless of whether it is a Chennai Super Kings home game or not, MS Dhoni appears to have the backing of the crowd wherever he plays in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 while the 41-year-old legendary captain has said that this is the ‘last phase’ of his career.

Regardless of whether it is a Chennai Super Kings home game or not, MS Dhoni appears to have the backing of the crowd wherever he plays in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. 

The 41-year-old legendary captain has said that this is the ‘last phase’ of his career. According to several reports, this could be Dhoni’s last IPL season. He has already retired from international cricket. 

A few days ago, Dhoni’s fans showed up in force at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata to cheer him on. In Jaipur on Thursday, in the CSK-Rajasthan Royals match, it was not different. After winning the toss, RR captain Sanju Samson made a statement about it.

“We would like to bat first. We like to stick to our strength, which is to defend. It feels great to play RR’s 200th game, feels great to be playing for 10 years. Would love to see some pink here today, but it’s yellow and we know that the reason is (smiles). Boult misses out due to a niggle, Zampa is playing in his place,”

Sanju Samson said at the toss.
