Everybody knows MS Dhoni's retirement is imminent. The most logical conclusion is that the former India captain will retire after the Cricket World Cup in England and Wales this summer. But why push for it?
The 37-year-old may still continue to lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK), at least for one more season, and sign off in style after Sunday's heartbreaking one-run defeat to Mumbai Indians in (MI) in the final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 at Hyderabad.
That's everybody wants to know. Will he continue playing in the IPL or not. Celebrated commentator and former Indian batsman Sanjay Manjrekar probed Dhoni with that very question during the post-match ceremony, and what he gets in reply was brilliant.
Here's what Dhoni said: "It's too early to say right now (about next year's plans). Up next is the World Cup. That's the first priority. After that, we will chat about CSK... Hopefully yes, we'll see you next year."
That cheeky response from one of the smartest cricketers left Manjrekar with very limited follow-up questions.
Meanwhile, Manjrekar took to Twitter sharing what he felt after talking to Dhoni.
But not everyone was happy with Manjrekar for a myriad of reasons. Here are some fan reactions,
Chasing a 150-run target, CSK could manage only 148 runs with Lasith Malinga producing an incredible last over to defend nine runs.
