MS Dhoni, who is all set to return to competitive cricket through the Indian Premier League, has left everyone on tenterhooks as the Chennai Super Kings captain made a very rare appearance on social media on Monday to hint at a new role in the franchise for IPL 2024.
Dhoni, 42, is expected to play his final season this year after he promised a return to the tournament following a triumphant season in 2023.
What’s Inside Dhoni’s Post
“Can’t wait for the new season and the new ‘role’. Stay tuned,” MS Dhoni posted on Facebook. Dhoni was last seen having a ball at the pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Jamnagar. Present at the occasion with their wife Sakshi and a plethora of Indian celebrities, Dhoni was seen learning dandiya with former CSK teammate Dwayne Bravo.
MS Dhoni’s The Most Successful IPL Captain
Dhoni, with five IPL titles, is the joint-most successful captain in the history of the tournament along with Rohit Sharma. And while no one is aware as to what the new role is, CSK fans would be hoping it’s not related to a leadership change. If not as a player, will the 2024 season witness the return of ‘mentor’ Dhoni?
About Dhoni’s Retirement
MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020 – more than a year after playing his final match for India, the World Cup 2019 semifinal against New Zealand at Old Trafford Cricket Stadium in Manchester. Although Dhoni called time on his India career, he continued to play for CSK in the IPL.
