IPL 2021: Team-wise one player who might be playing last season

2. Chennai Super Kings – MS Dhoni

With captain cool already saying goodbye to international cricket and with the next IPL being a mega auction event, it is highly expected that MSD will be last seen playing for CSK in IPL 2021. In that sense, whether the team performs well or not, the current season will surely seem to be the most emotive IPL for all CSK fans. MS Dhoni, whose often being called the ‘Thala’ itself signifies CSK as a top IPL franchise and will be expected to then transpire as a coaching aid.

In terms of his batting, the last IPL for MSD was an elusive season where he hardly seemed to be in the rhythm. However, with CSK already having prolonged practice sessions before their first IPL game, it is believed that Dhoni won’t begin this IPL with being rusty. Also, with some smart bagging of all-rounders in the February auction, the pressure of making CSK cross the line will be less on MSD’s shoulders.

Even the IPL venues on which CSK will be playing are mainly flat decks which eventually will allow to soar the yellow army by playing some match-winning knocks. The 2021 IPL will surely be the last event where MSD takes guard on a cricket field and to make it more memorable, an IPL glory will be a fitting ode to the legend.
