MS Dhoni’s Last Stand at Chepauk
Mahendra Singh Dhoni…Our Mahi, Captain Cool will probably play his last match today against Rajasthan at Chepauk, Chennai. During the Corona period, when Dhoni was asked whether this was the last IPL tournament, he expressed his wish that he would like to play the last match in Chepauk. Today that time has come…Chennai Super Kings have won 6 out of 12 matches of IPL 2024 and to remain in the race for the play-offs, they must win the remaining two matches. In such a situation, this match against Rajasthan Royals in Chepauk is very important. If CSK’s challenge ends before the playoffs, then today’s match with MS Dhoni could be his last match at home
