Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni recently said that he is in the dying stages of his career, which has fueled the speculation that the legend wicket-keeper batsman will make it big in the Indian Premier League this year.
On Sunday, a large number of cricket lovers came to watch the match wearing yellow jersey at the historic Eden Gardens ground in Kolkata. These spectators were showing their love for Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings instead of their home team Kolkata Knight Riders.
Dhoni then said that he has probably come to give me Farewell. After defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by 49 runs, Dhoni said about the fans who came to support him at Eden Garden,
“I would just like to say thank you for the support, they came in large numbers…Most of these guys will be in KKR jersey next time…they are trying to bid me farewell, so thank you very much everyone.”
This statement of Dhoni has increased the speculation about his retirement from IPL. After defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by 49 runs, Dhoni said that his bowlers did a good job and kept the opposition team under constant pressure.
