TIL Desk Sports/ Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be back in the IPL next year. The World Cup-winning captain confirmed it himself during the toss Chennai Super Kings’ final game of the season, against Kings XI Punjab, in Abu Dhabi, on Sunday.
Dhoni made the customary toss tradition a memorable one for his countess fans by confirming that he will be back in the yellow jersey next season. “Definitely not,” declared Dhoni when asked by commentator Danny Morrison if the game against Kings XI Punjab was his last for CSK’s yellow jersey.
As expected, his terse response sent social media into a frenz. However, the 39-year-old Dhoni was expected to play the IPL for at least two seasons after announcing his international retirement on August 15 after the T20 World Cup, to he held in Australia in October-November, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dhoni’s final India appearance happened to be the 2019 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand.
