Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player Kedar Jadhav made a straightforward remark on skipper MS Dhoni’s retirement in the IPL. Notably, at 41, Dhoni has featured in 238 matches thus far in the top-tier league and recently led the yellow brigade in his 200th game as skipper of the side against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday, April 12.
“I am telling you this with 2,000 per cent certainty that this will be MS Dhoni’s final season as a player in IPL. Dhoni will turn 42 this July. Although still fit, Dhoni is also a human after all. So, I think this will be his final season. Fans shouldn’t be missing any of his matches, they should be watching every ball he’s in the field,” Kedar told during an interaction with News18 CricketNext.
Broke viewership record when Dhoni was batting: Kedar Jadhav
“We also broke record on JioCinema the other day when Dhoni was batting,” Kedar referred to 2.2 crore viewers tuning in to witness the CSK skipper take centerstage. Notably, Dhoni nearly took his side to the finish line with his explosive knock of 32* off 17 balls. However, Rajasthan Royals just edged past CSK by three runs to win the high-octane thriller.
