However, on Monday, speaking on the IPL expert on JioCinema, Raina, who is a very close friend of Dhoni, revealed the captain’s exact words during their last meeting in IPL 2023.
“Main trophy jeetke ek saal aur khelunga (After winning the trophy, I will play one more year),” were Dhoni’s words to Raina. These words also indicate how dedicated and confident Dhoni is about winning a fifth title for his side.
