Given the increasing intensity of retirement rumors, MS Dhoni may play in his final Chennai Super Kings game on Saturday. After playing their final home game, CSK will now play their final league game at M Chinnaswamy Stadium against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, former CSK batter Robin Uthappa believes MS Dhoni would not be announcing his retirement after this season.
After 13 games, six wins, seven losses, and 12 points, RCB are presently sixth in the standings. With seven victories and six losses in 13 games, CSK are currently in fourth place. With a playoff berth on the line, it will be a game of do-or-die consequences.
No retirement for MS Dhoni after IPL 2024
Speaking on JioCinema, former India and CSK cricketer Robin Uthappa felt that MS Dhoni would not be announcing his retirement. “Coming to CSK, is this MS’s last run? I don’t think so, personally, I don’t think so. But, do they want to spoil RCB’s party? Definitely. Ruturaj, I think, would want to get to the knockout stage in his first season as captain. That will be a huge confidence booster for him and for CSK. It’s one for the long run. Let’s see where that goes,” he said.
