MS Dhoni in IPL 2023: Even before the 2023 season of Indian Premier League 2023 started, there was a widespread supposition that Chennai Super Kings legend MS Dhoni, the four-time IPL winner, is likely playing his last season as a player in world's richest T20 tournament. Even at 41, Dhoni continues to impress his die-hard fanbase with his fiery batting skills in the ongoing tournament. In CSK's previous fixture, which was against Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni reminded the world of his best years.

Ahead of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) highly-anticipated IPL 2023 match against Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Monday (April 17), MS Dhoni finally broke his silence over his 'retirement rumours', saying that there was a lot of time to take that call and that if he says something on this so early in the tournament, it would create pressure on CSK coach Stephen Fleming.

"There is lots of time to take that call. Right now, we have lots of games, and the coach will be under pressure if I say something," Dhoni said during a CSK event.

The 41-year-old continued to play for franchise Chennai Super Kings even after announcing retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020 and led them to a title win in 2021. MS Dhoni has scored 58 runs in four matches for CSK with a strike rate of 214.81 in IPL 2023 thus far.

Meanwhile, MS Dhoni's teammate Moeen Ali feels that the CSK skipper "could definitely" feature in the IPL next year.

"He could definitely play again next year," Moeen was quoted as saying by 'ESPNcricinfo'.

"The way he's playing, I don't think it'll be his batting that stops him from playing, even if it's in two, three years' time.

"I wasn't surprised at how he played (against Rajasthan). I've been watching him in the nets, and he's been batting unbelievably well.

"It's just amazing to see from somebody at that age. It's not easy when you come in so late - people forget that a lot of the time, but that's what makes him so good at his role."
