Sports Desk: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the most successful captain of the Indian cricket team and one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen in the world, said goodbye to international cricket last August. However, he said that he will play in the IPL, a franchise-based T20 tournament. According to him, Dhoni has taken part in the IPL this time. But could not do justice to his own name.

Even his team Chennai Super Kings is drowning in despair this time. For the first time in their IPL history, Chennai could not reach the top four. The tournament ended at number seven. In this situation, the question naturally arises whether the 39-year-old Peruvian Dhoni will play in the next IPL? Or are you saying goodbye to IPL like international cricket? The question that comes up after the match against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday.

In response, Dhoni said only two words in English, "Definitely not." It is clear that Dhoni will play in the 2021 edition of the IPL. But the image of his personal performance in this year's event is very disappointing. He has managed to score only 200 runs in 14 matches, no fifty, only 116 strikeouts. He could not win the match with finishing despite having chances in several matches. However, Dhoni will be seen in the IPL for at least one more season.

"They may think I'm retiring," he told Hersha Vogle at the awards ceremony after the match against Punjab. You know, I'm leaving international cricket. Maybe I will give up limited cricket too. ' Then Vogle asks, did you play your last match in IPL? The answer to Dhoni’s two words, ‘Definitely not (that is, of course not).’ Which is undoubtedly good news for hardcore Dhoni fans.
