MS Dhoni, the legendary cricketer from Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has spoken about his strong connection with the franchise and his reasons for remaining with the team for many years. Former Indian captain MS Dhoni is undeniably a cricket legend. Though he has retired from international cricket, the 42-year-old continues to shine for the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Dhoni, who has led CSK to five IPL titles, is a beloved figure among the team's fans. In the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008, Chennai Super Kings acquired MS Dhoni in the first-ever auction. Unlike the other seven franchises, CSK did not designate a marquee player. Instead, they invested heavily to secure the services of the wicketkeeper-batter. Since then, Dhoni has been a cornerstone of the franchise, only playing for the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiants during the 2016 and 2017 seasons when CSK was banned. Even at 42, Dhoni continues to play in the IPL, driven by the unwavering support of his fans. Recently, he spoke about this special bond, describing his connection with CSK as "emotional." He emphasized that he is more than just a player who shows up annually to play and then leaves; his relationship with the team and its supporters runs much deeper. “My connection with CSK it’s an emotional connect. It is not only like a player who comes plays for a couple of months and then goes back home,” MS Dhoni said on the Dubai Eye 103.8 YouTube channel. https://x.com/balltamperrer/status/1792556105576731069 CSK, the five-time champions, couldn't secure a spot in the knockout stages of the current IPL 2024. They faced a crucial match against RCB at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium on May 18, which was a must-win to stay in the competition. There has been widespread speculation about the 41-year-old retiring after this season, potentially ruling him out of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. However, he has not yet made any official announcement regarding his future. Earlier the former India batsman Ambati Rayudu shared his belief that Dhoni has not played his final match. Rayudu also voiced support for the BCCI's controversial Impact Player rule, suggesting it would help the seasoned legend continue his career in the league. Speaking on Star Sports Cricket Live, Rayudu said, "I don't think this is his last game. I just don't see him wanting to end on this note." “He looked a little frustrated, even when he got out. That's very unlike MS Dhoni, he just wanted to qualify and finish on a high. But you never know with MS Dhoni, he might come back next year. With the impact player role as well, it gives him the opportunity to be able to come in those last few overs and truly make that impact. BCCI better not remove the impact player role because we still want to see MS Dhoni play. So, it's up to BCCI now. Do we want to see MS Dhoni play or not.”

Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa has dismissed the rumors, asserting that former CSK captain MS Dhoni is not likely to retire anytime soon. MS Dhoni might be playing his final match for Chennai Super Kings on Saturday, as retirement speculations grow stronger every day. Although CSK have already completed their last home game, they are set to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their concluding league match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Currently, RCB stands sixth in the table with 12 points from 13 matches, having secured six wins and faced seven losses. On the other hand, CSK holds the fourth spot with 14 points from 13 games, boasting seven wins and six defeats. This match is crucial, with both teams vying for a playoff spot. Robin Uthappa, the former CSK and India player, has dismissed these retirement rumors, expressing his belief that the legendary captain is not ready to hang up his boots just yet. Speaking on JioCinema, Uthappa voiced his confidence that CSK would be eager to thwart RCB's playoff ambitions in their final league showdown. “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 CSK. It's one for the long run. Let's see where that goes,” he said. The defending champions have already wrapped up their final home game of the season. Now, their last league match against RCB at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru might mark Dhoni's farewell. This game is crucial for both teams' playoff hopes, with RCB currently in sixth place and CSK in fourth. A loss for the home side would mean elimination, while a win for CSK would secure their spot in the playoffs. Even if Gaikwad and his team lose but manage to stay within a 10% deficit of the target, they will still qualify thanks to their superior net run-rate (NRR). This season, Dhoni has contributed 161 runs in 10 innings, with a remarkable strike rate of 226.66, showcasing the value of his brief but impactful innings. The match is also anticipated to be a showdown between two of India's cricketing giants, Virat Kohli and Dhoni. Kohli has been RCB's standout player this season, amassing 661 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 155.16. His impressive performance includes a century and five half-centuries, placing him at the top of the Orange Cap race.
