Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be returning to Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022. He has almost confirmed his participation. The CSK captain, who led the side to a 4th title in the 14th edition of the tournament, has said that he wants to play his last IPL match in Chennai.
During ‘The Champions Call’ event in Chennai, organised to commemorate Chennai Super Kings’ IPL title victory in the UAE, Dhoni said he plans his cricket in advance and wants to play his final T20 in Chennai.
“I have always planned my cricket. My last home game, the ODI version, was in Ranchi. Hopefully, my last T20 will be in Chennai. Whether it is next year or in next five years’ time, we don’t really know,” Dhoni said.
He also lauded CSK fans for appreciating good cricket. “Each and every game we played at Chepauk, the fans came and supported good cricket. A lot of times, you have the mentality that you want your team to do well but you don’t want the other team to not do well — that was not the case with Chennai. I think Sachin paaji received one of the best ovations in the ground whenever he went to the ground, even when he played for the Mumbai Indians,” said Dhoni.
