Former Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni who retired from International cricket on 15 August, 2020, opened up about his future plans. He hinted that he does not have any retirement plan as of now and will play at least one more season for CSK.
While interacting with his fans virtually during the 75th year celebrations of ‘India Cements’, he said, “When it comes to farewell, you can still come and see me play for CSK and that can be my farewell game. So, you will still get that opportunity to bid me farewell. Hopefully, we will come to see Chennai and play my last game over there and we can meet fans there."
Talking about choosing 15th August to announce his retirement, Dhoni said, "It can't be a better day than that, 15th of August."
When asked about CSK’s calm and composed nature during crunch situations, he said, “We are a process-driven team, we believe in the process and we know that if we follow the process if we execute the plans well, if we do the small things right, we will get the desired result, we know the result is a byproduct and that also keeps us calm.”
Dhoni, who led CSK to win the IPL trophy on three occasions, has not played in Chennai since 2019, as the 2020 edition was held in UAE and CSK didn’t play any match at Chepauk in the first leg of this IPL edition.
