Meanwhile, there has been a lot of speculation that the IPL 2024 is going to be Dhoni’s last season. Former cricketers, some of whom have played with MS Dhoni, opened up on Jio Cinema about his future.

Talking about MS Dhoni’s connection with CSK, his former teammate Suresh Raina said: “The best thing about MS is that he comes to Chennai one month or three weeks before the IPL. He bats for around two to three hours under humid conditions and does gym training. During this time, there’s a lot of team bonding and I think it’s something magical.”

Robin Uthappa, former CSK player said: “CSK would let him play even if he was on a wheelchair! Get off from the wheelchair, bat, and then go back. But I don’t think the batting is the issue for him, I don’t think batting will ever be an issue for him. I think it’s the wicketkeeping. The knees are getting worn out and he loves keeping. So, because he won’t be able to stand there and add value, he’ll probably move on from the game than for any other reason.”
