MS Dhoni’s future in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been the subject of much discussion following the Chennai Super Kings’ disastrous exit from the IPL in 2024. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeat crushed the five-time champions, ending their hopes of making the playoffs. With Ruturaj Gaikwad as captain, Dhoni primarily functioned as a lower-order finisher during CSK’s turbulent season. Although there was no formal word on Dhoni’s future, videos of the former captain of India riding a bike through Ranchi have surfaced on social media.
Former Indian batsman Aakash Chopra stated that CSK would have won the game if Dhoni had not lost.
“There was Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni. They lived because of Dhoni. Perhaps this was Dhoni’s final appearance for us. With a 110-meter six, it was his longest of the season. In addition, he made two leg-side fours. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Chopra stated, “MS Dhoni would have won the game (and sent CSK to the playoffs) if he hadn’t been out to the back-of-the-hand ball.”
It didn’t seem like he could win the game from where he started. Not winning—you know I’m talking about 201—they couldn’t have won the match. Jadeja was hitting every over’s opening ball for sixes. But in the final over, Yash Dayal bowled well. It just took 17 runs to complete the task. He kept them alive, and RCB advanced and triumphed by a respectable margin,” he continued.
