MS Dhoni To Announce Retirement Soon? CSK Stalwart’s Quite Disappearance Fuels Speculations

New Delhi: Bengaluru witnessed both ecstasy and agony on Saturday night. While it was ecstasy for Virat Kohli as Royal Challengers Bengaluru made the IPL 2024 playoffs, agony came calling for MS Dhoni as the defending champions Chennai Super Kings got eliminated following their 27-run loss at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Everyone who glued to the television screens was happy for Virat Kohli, for RCB for the way the Bengaluru-based franchise won six matches on the trot to stage a remarkable comeback.

But what about MS Dhoni? Did he play his final cricket match? Where did Dhoni go after the game? Always known to be a finisher, Dhoni tried his best. His six on the first ball of the final over bowled by Yash Dayal did gave CSK fans around the world a ray of hope. But Dhoni’s dismissal in the very next ball dashed all dreams as the former CSK skipper looked crestfallen in the dugout – something that his teammate and well-wishers hadn’t seen before.

Soon after the final ball was bowled, Dhoni got up from his seat in the dugout to shake hands with the opposition and stood in front of the line. While all the cameras were busy in capturing the wild emotions of Kohli and company, Dhoni quietly took the lane backward without exchanging pleasantries with the likes of Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Mohammed Siraj and more. The former India captain was nowhere to be seen when both teams shook hands after the game, which is usually a norm in all cricket matches played in the world.

This loss has really hurt Thala badly
