Dhoni is leaving no stone unturned in his preparations ahead of the IPL 2023. He has been there from day 1 of CSK training session at the Chepauk. Not only he is sharpening his batting, the two-time World Cup-winning Indian captain was also seen rolling his arms quite often in the nets.
However, as per rumours, IPL 2023 is most likely to be Dhoni’s last season as a player in the cash-rich league. Without officially conforming, Dhoni has several times said that he wants to play his last game for CSK in front of home fans who were deprived of live IPL action for three years due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Dhoni had stepped down from CSK captaincy last year just before the tournament started, passing on the batton to Ravindra Jadeja. But the all-rounder was a complete flop forcing Dhoni to take up the leadership duties again in the middle of the tournament.
In case, Dhoni announces retirement at the end of the season, the CSK management don’t have to scratch their heads much with England Ben Stokes likely to be the immediate replacement.
Stokes is returning to IPL after missing last season and CSK bought England’s Test captain for just Rs 2 crore in the austion last December.
