When questioned about MS Dhoni‘s potential in the IPL, Deepak Chahar provided an unexpected response.
The speculation around MS Dhoni’s future in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been circulating for a while. There has been no clear word on Dhoni’s future with Chennai Super Kings, despite the fact that he has assuredly stated that he will play the matches in this year’s tournament in front of the home crowd in Chennai. In a recent interview, CSK fast bowler Chahar was asked about the subject and had a really unusual response.
“No one has said that this would be his final year. At least, he hasn’t. Hopefully, he will play more. We don’t know any such thing, we want him to play as much as he can,” Chahar
“He knows when to retire, we saw it when he did in Tests and international cricket. No one else knows. I just hope he continues to play, it’s a privilege to play under him. It has been a dream to play with him. He’s in good touch as well, you will see that when he bats in the IPL this year,” he added.
Dhoni, who will captain CSK in 2023, previously stated his excitement about playing in front of a home crowd for the first time in a long time.
“Definitely. It’s a simple reason: it will be unfair to not play in Chennai and say thank you [to the fans]. Mumbai is one place where, as a team and as an individual, I have got a lot of love and affection. But it wouldn’t be nice to the CSK fans,” Dhoni said on his future.
“And also, hopefully next year there will be an opportunity where the teams will be travelling so it will be a like thank you to all the different places where we will be playing games at different venues. Whether it will be my last year or not that’s a big question, because you know we can’t really predict about something two years down the line. But definitely I’ll be working hard to come back strong next year,” he had added.
