IPLCricBet is here with yet another new news on MS Dhoni’s expected time of retirement. With MSD ready to make his highly anticipated return in IPL 2024, cricket fans worldwide are looking forward to the games this season. He is leading the defending champions CSK after he retired from his international career in August 2020.
Prologue to MSD’s final IPL season
He played last year’s IPL with an injured knee to guide CSK. And they went on to win their 5th IPL title, rivalling the record of Mumbai Indians. Because Dhoni is in his forties, there were countless rumours and doubts that last year’s IPL would be his final game. However, Dhoni is returning for another incredible season and aiming for a record – breaking 6th IPL title.
AB De Villiers’ opinions on this being MSD’s final IPL season
The South African legendary former player says that MSD is a ‘diesel engine’ that keeps running. No one can predict when he calls time on his matches. He represented DC and RCB during his IPL career. Talking about the team, he praised CSK and said that the credit goes to MSD, head coach Stephen Fleming and senior cricketers such as Ravindra Jadeja. They set the team culture to make it an ‘intimidating team.’
AB De Villiers’s statements on the situation
In De Villiers’ words on his YouTube channel, “There were a lot of rumours about MS Dhoni finishing up last year, that was not the case, ladies and gentlemen. He would be back again. Will this be his final season? No one knows. He just seems to be this diesel engine that never ends. He keeps running. What an incredible player, what an incredible captain.”
According to starpunternews, he said the following. “I believe it’s through their presence, it’s through the leadership of MSD, a calm coach in Stephen Fleming, senior players in Ravi Jadeja and others who have really set this incredible culture alive. They are a very intimidating team to play against. They are never easy to beat.” He further added, “That is always a great characteristic of a very successful unit, of a very successful franchise. When you are playing well, it’s, ‘Yes, no problem, no one’s gonna stop us’ but when you are not playing so well – they always find a way to compete.”
Further, he said that CSK is under no pressure to defend their title and that is what makes them so ‘dangerous’. The full statement in his own words were as follows. “They won last year. Yes, they want to defend their title but there’s almost no pressure on MSD and his troops and I think that makes them dangerous. Can they go back-to-back? They certainly have the ability.”
