The man is a legend and one of the smartest cricketing brains in the history of the game. Yes, we’re referring to Mahendra Singh Dhoni who has a massive fan following across the world and during the current IPL 2023 edition, almost every match has been a home game for Dhoni because of the love he’s got at every single city.
Today, Delhi Capitals host Chennai Super Kings in the first game of the double header and when the Chennai team bus was one the way to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, fans thronged all around the team bus, all wearing the CSK and ‘Yellove’ jerseys. It showed us once again about how millions of people adore Dhoni and would do anything to get a small glimpse of the former Indian captain.

There has been a lot of speculation about whether or not this will be Dhoni’s last IPL season given that he’s 41 years old now, and doesn’t play any other form of the game apart from this competition. And because of this speculation, Dhoni fans have travelled across the country to watch him in action for what they believed would be the final time. Still, there’s been no official verdict from the great man himself.
Dhoni has been playing a different role this season for CSK where he’s been coming in late in the innings and facing only a few balls, but he’s launched quite a few sixes into the crowd and ended the innings well on multiple occasions in IPL 2023. Today, CSK plays their final game of the IPL 2023 league stage and they’re playing Delhi for a top two spot on the IPL 2023 points table.
