Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Kaif offered their thoughts on MS Dhoni’s future after the Chennai Super Kings left his fans, and presenter Danny Morrison stunned with his reply on his ‘last season in IPL’.
After winning the toss against Lucknow Super Giants, the CSK skipper chose to bowl and was subsequently quizzed by Morrison whether he had been enjoying his ‘swansong’ year.
Dhoni then came up with an epic remark, saying, “Well, you have decided it’s my last,” thereby hinting that it might not be his last year in CSK colours just yet.

“Mahi is no longer playing as a player but as a mentor. He chooses the team. Let’s get on the field. He does not tease the seniors much but keeps on teaching the youth all the time. He wants every player, playing under him, to perform well as it will make the team’s job easier,” remarked Kaif.
