After Chennai Super King’s fifth win in the IPL 2023, the team’s triumphant captain M.S. Dhoni had not yet ruled out playing in the next IPL season. After lifting the cup, he said, “Circumstantially, this is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love I have received all over, the easy thing would be to walk away from here, but the harder thing would be to work hard for nine months and try to play another IPL.”
“It would be a gift from me, won’t be easy on the body,” he said.
Speaking about the match, Dhoni said, “Every trophy is special, but what is special about IPL is every crunch game you need to be ready. There were lapses today, the bowling department didn’t work, but it was the batting department that took the pressure off them today.”
