“Now is the ideal time to make my retirement official. However, the amount of support I have received globally. The simple solution would be to leave this place, but the challenging solution would be to put in hard work for nine months and attempt to play in another IPL. It wouldn’t be easy on the body, but it would be a gift from me. You do experience emotions; during my name chant during the CSK debut, everyone did. I needed to rest in the dugout because my eyes were watering. I realized that I had to enjoy this,” said MS Dhoni.
The stadium was silent as Mohit Sharma struck out MS Dhoni on the opening pitch of the IPL 2023 championship game. MS Dhoni was unable to make a contribution. MS Dhoni left for the pavilion, and some people’s eyes were visibly filled with emotion. Finally, Ravindra Jadeja complied with MS Dhoni’s request, and Shivam Dubey saw to it that CSK successfully pursued the goal.
