With him having announced his retirement from international cricket in 2020, there is always a lot of speculation regarding when will Dhoni hang up his boots from the IPL. Fans want to celebrate the man and what he has done for CSK and Team India and are flocking in large numbers even when it's an away game in this season of the IPL.
