Keeping the fans on their toes till the last moment is one of the things former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni is famous for. After passing the baton to his junior Ruturaj Gaikwad, critics expected Dhoni's craze among fans to get lower. On the contrary, his presence on the field has only increased their love for the player. At the age of 42, with several injuries, MS Dhoni's efforts and passion for the game and the team are top-notch. 

Even though he comes down the batting order, he manages to keep the crowd hooked to their seats. Dhoni's performance in this year's IPL is proof that 'Age is just a number' and that if you have enough courage and game spirit within you, you can play for as long as you want. Nevertheless, there is just one question still in the minds of every cricket fan, Will MS Dhoni play the next season? While the answer can only be given by MSD himself, looking at his form and dedication, we can just say one thing, Never write him off! 

MS Dhoni has the ability and the strength to play for one more year if he wants to. Sports require physical and mental fitness much more than anything. MSD is not 100% fit physically, but mentally is. He has one entire year to practice and come out of injury. Like every other year, he has given his best for the team and his fans are eagerly waiting to hear, 'Definitely Not' one more time. 

Chennai Super Kings poor IPL 2024 performance

Known as Comeback Super Kings, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) did make a beautiful comeback in the IPL 2023 where they won the title in a dramatic manner, this year didn't go their way. Out of 14 matches, they won seven matches and lost seven and hence couldn't qualify for the playoffs. They lost their last match against RCB and with that lost the way to the knockouts. 

Their batting and bowling were the main reasons behind their failure as the players didn't perform when it was needed the most. Apart from this, the injuries and national duty calls are to be blamed for the team's poor performance this season. Moreover, since they are known for their comebacks, we can only hope to see them perform well in the upcoming season.
