Following MS Dhoni’s pivotal cameo that enabled CSK to defeat MI in the opening El Clasico of the IPL 2024, Wasim Jaffer posted an enigmatic message.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the renowned cricketer, completed a fantastic comeback to the legendary Wankhede Stadium by putting Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya through a rigorous workout in the recently ended Indian Premier League season 2024 match. In the first El Clasico of the lucrative tournament on Sunday, Dhoni gave CSK a late surge in the last overs by hitting three sixes off Pandya, ensuring the Yellow Brigade scored a match-winning total.
Following his spectacular three-sixes off his first three balls to end CSK’s innings at the Wankhede, former India opener Wasim Jaffer posted a mysterious message regarding the former CSK captain. There are rumors that the former captain of India may retire from T20 play in the IPL in 2024. In the lead-up to the new season, Dhoni resigned from his position as captain of CSK. “MS has always taken unexpected actions, particularly in regards to format retirement. Everyone now anticipates that he will retire following this IPL.Jaffer wrote in his post, “Baki aap khud samajhdar hai #MIvCSK #IPL2024.”
In match No. 29 of the IPL 2024, Dhoni faced Hardik’s Mumbai Indians and was undefeated at 20 off just 4 balls. The former captain of CSK, who is 42 years old, batted with a strike rate of 500, helping the reigning champions to 206-4 in 20 overs. Power hitter Shivam Dube stayed undefeated alongside Dhoni on 66 off 38 deliveries, while Dhoni’s replacement, Ruturaj Gaikwad, played a stroke-filled knock of 69 off 40 balls.
Dhoni’s IPL legacy
After the 2024 season, Dhoni will be able to say goodbye to IPL cricket, according a report published by news agency PTI. Gaikwad, an Indian opener, was chosen by Dhoni to be his CSK replacement. Shortly before the IPL 2024 skippers’ meeting, Dhoni told the CEO of CSK that he was going to resign as captain. The news agency stated in one of its sources that “there is speculation that Dhoni will retire at the end of the season and therefore the franchise felt the need for a smooth transition in the stalwart’s presence as a player.” As captain, Dhoni holds a tie for most IPL trophies won. The iconic Dhoni of Chennai has led CSK to five IPL championship victories. The former captain of CSK has the most runs scored in the top league as a wicketkeeper-batter.
