‘Croron rupay barbaad ho gaya’ – Fans react as reports of MS Dhoni playing in IPL 2024 surface

Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni might play in the IPL 2024. During the 2023 season, he was playing carrying a knee injury. After the tournament, Dhoni went for surgery in Mumbai after CSK won their fifth IPL title. Notably, the former India skipper had said that him playing the 17th season will depend on his fitness.

“Circumstantially if you see, this is the best time to announce my retirement…but the amount of love and affection I have been shown wherever I have been this year, the easy thing would be for me to say ‘Thank you very much’, but the tough thing for me is to work hard for another 9 months and come back and play at least 1 more season of IPL,” Dhoni said after winning the IPL 2023.

MS Dhoni will rest for three weeks and start his rehab – Kasi Vishvanthan

Meanwhile, CSK CEO has revealed after the final, Dhoni already made a plan to go to Mumbai for the operation.

“Actually, he told us immediately after the final is over, he’ll fly to Mumbai, have surgery and go back to Ranchi for rehab. In Mumbai, after Ruturaj’s wedding [on June 4], I visited him. It was a courtesy call. He’s quite comfortable. He said he’ll rest for three weeks and then start his rehab. And like he said, he’s not going to play until January-February. We don’t need to remind him about all that,” CSK CEO told ESPNCricinfo.

“He knows what to do, how to go about it, so we aren’t going to ask him ‘what are you going to do, how’ etc. He will inform us on his own. Whatever he’s doing, he’ll call first and inform only Mr N Srinivasan, not anyone else. Factually, he’ll be straightforward with him. From him, we’ll get the information that this is what he’s doing. It’s been this way since 2008. That’s how it will continue,” he further added.
