With Chennai Super Kings out of the 2020 IPL playoff race, it is “a mere formality for the team and skipper MS Dhoni to try to save the remainder of the season with three more games in the league stages remaining. An abject batting failure pulled the curtain on CSK’s campaign, it’s time for management to hit the reset button and with an aging team, it’s sure to be a full reset. But what about ‘Thala’? This year, fans were expecting a big flourish from Dhoni at IPL 2020. However, that has not been the case and speculation abounds that this could be the last IPL season for him.

And with the wicketkeeper-batsman handing out jerseys to players, signs point to Dhoni hanging up his boots from all forms of cricket, or maybe just from the IPL. Earlier in the week, England’s Jos Buttler posed with an autographed woman and his idol after CSK’s game against Rajasthan Royals and on Friday, the Pandya brothers, Hardik and Krunal, were photographed wearing CSK Dhoni’s number 7 jersey.
