MS Dhoni Might Eye Silverware In His Last IPL Season

IPL 2021 might actually prove to be the last IPL season for CSK skipper MS Dhoni. Dhoni has been one of the most successful captains in the history of the tournament as he has won three IPL titles for CSK. Apart from that, he also holds the record of winning the most IPL matches as a captain.

Dhoni called it quits on his international career in August 2020 and the 2020 IPL was a nightmare for CSK as it was the first time they failed to qualify for the playoff of the tournament while competing in it. In his probably last season in the IPL, MS Dhoni might work wonders to win a 4th IPL title.
