Will MS Dhoni play in the IPL 2024?

During and ahead of the IPL 2023, the concentration was around whether the wicketkeeper batter was playing his last IPL season. During the 16th season, Dhoni played with a dodgy knee. After his team won the tournament, beating Gujarat Titans in a last-bal thriller, the Ranchi-born said that he will consider his retirement depending on how his body shapes up in the next few months

“Looking for an answer? (He asks Harsha Bhogle after the latter asks him about his legacy) This is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love I have received all over. The easy thing would be to walk away from here, but the harder thing would be working hard for 9 months and try to play another IPL. It would be a gift from me, won’t be easy on the body. You do get emotional, the first game at CSK everyone was chanting my name. My eyes were full of water, I needed to take some time off in the dugout. I realised I need to enjoy this,” MS Dhoni said.

After the tournament, he went through a successful knee surgery, confirmed by team CEO, Kasi Viswanath.

“Till the final, he never complained about his knee to anybody. Though everyone knew, and you would’ve seen him struggling while running, he never complained even once. After the final, he said, ‘Okay, I’ll have surgery’. He’s finished his surgery, he’s quite happy, he’s recovering,” Viswanathan added.
