On Friday, the whole cricketing world experienced Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s charisma once again when the 39-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman led Chennai Super Kings to their fourth IPL title victory. After beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 27 runs in Dubai, Dhoni and his team were crowned champions. CSK has been outstanding throughout the season. They remained in the top half of the points table throughout the India leg and the second half of the competition, which began in the UAE, and became the first franchise to qualify for the playoffs and ultimately the championships.
The most talked-about topic was Dhoni’s leadership, particularly the manner in which they were eliminated from IPL 2020. It was the first time they had failed to qualify for the playoffs and ended in the bottom half of the standings in the tournament’s history. And now, as the question of Dhoni’s future with CSK and in what capacity lingers, former India opener Virender Sehwag believes the famous wicketkeeper-batter should play one more year in the IPL before calling it a day.
“The legacy of captain is renowned for the number of trophies he has won,” Sehwag told Cricbuzz after the last match. “And this skipper [MS Dhoni] has four titles to his name and has appeared in nine finals. Any other skipper will have a difficult time matching him up. Rohit Sharma is close, but he needs more nine-season nine season finals.”
“Without a doubt, Chennai Super Kings is the most reliable squad in this T20 tournament.” They finished last on the table last year and were previously banned for two years. So they were out of contention for three of the 13-14 years. However, in the other seasons, they have made the playoffs nine times and reached the final. As per Hindustan Times.
