Talking about the fandom, no other franchise has ever experienced a following such as CSK. It’s only because not all teams are Chennai Super Kings, and not all teams have Dhoni on the roster. In this region of the nation, it is difficult to distinguish between the two, making the next season seem even more unique.
The CSK supporters already perceive this as their “Thala’s” final season, despite there being no official announcement as of yet.
MS Dhoni’s Swan Song
Dhoni is 41 now and will turn 42 in July. In order to repay the fervent support he has gotten over the years from the fans, he has maintained an extraordinarily fit body.
The final league game against Kolkata Knight Riders is seen as the occasion for the sunset of a glittering career that has earned the franchise four IPL and two Champions League titles.
MSD has already revealed his intentions to play his last IPL match at his adopted home Chennai, though he hasn’t said whether 2023 will be his last.
