Dhoni to don CSK jersey for one more year, says farewell game can be in Chennai

Dhoni to don CSK jersey for one more year, says farewell game can be in Chennai

Chennai, Oct 6 (UNI) Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper
M S Dhoni has said that he will continue to play in the
cash rich Indian Premier League (IPL) for one more year
and hinted that his farewell game can be in Chennai.
Responding to a question from one of the fans during a virtual
inter-action to mark the 75th year celebrations of India Cements
Limited last night, Dhoni said “when it comes to farewell, you
can come and see me play for CSK and that can be my farewell
game."
"So, you will get the opportunity to bid me farewell. Hopefully,
I will come to see Chennai and play my last game there and
meet all the fans,” Dhoni, who had announced retirement from
international cricket on August 15 said.
When a fan asked him as to why he chose that date (to announce
his retirement from international cricket), Dhoni said 'it can't be a
better day than that, August 15".
Dhoni's remarks has brought big cheers to the ardent fans of the
Yellow Brigade Army as their iconic star has almost confirmed
that he would be donning the yellow jersey at least for one more
edition of the IPL and that they could watch him in action at
Chepauk after 2019.
The 2022 edition is expected to get two new teams, taking the total
number of franchisees to ten.
Speaking about the 75 year journey of India Cements, Vice-Chairman
and Managing Director N Srinivasan said ever since the advent of CSK,
India Cements has gone to another level.
"India Cements is a strong brand. But CSK out-beat it in no time. For
that, we have to thank only one person--skipper M S Dhoni", he said.
CSK players Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Imran Tahir also
participated in the virtual discussions.
