After taking retirement from international cricket back on August 15, 2020, Dhoni continues to play in the Indian Premier League, leading the Chennai Super Kings. There are chances that the Ranchi-based legend will make a comeback again in the IPL 2024. Fans will really be hoping for his successful recovery and comeback on the cricket field next season.
"Circumstantially, this is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love I have received all over, the easy thing would be to walk away from here, but the harder thing would be to work hard for nine months and try to play another IPL. It would be a gift from me, won't be easy on the body," Dhoni had said in the post-match interview after winning the last IPL final.
