After Chennai Super Kings won their fourth title, MS Dhoni spoke about his future in the IPL

In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 final in Dubai, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by 27 runs to claim their fourth title. Faf du Plessis hit a superb half-century, scoring 86 runs off 59 deliveries to help CSK post a massive 192-run total. In their allotted 20 overs, KKR could only score 165 for the loss of nine wickets. It was a fantastic comeback for the ‘Men in Yellow,’ who won the title after finishing the seventh season. After the triumph, CSK captain MS Dhoni stated that his IPL future is contingent on how the franchise views the next player auctions.

“It relies on BCCI, as I’ve said before. With two new teams on the way, we must decide what is best for CSK. It doesn’t matter if I’m in the top three or four. It’s all about building a solid foundation so the franchisee doesn’t suffer. We need to take a hard look at the core group to determine who can contribute for the next ten years “At the post-match presentation, MS Dhoni stated. Dhoni added that he expects a sold-out crowd in Chepauk next year.

“I’d want to thank the fans because we’ve always had a good amount of CSK fans wherever we’ve played, even when we were in South Africa. That’s exactly what you’re looking for. It feels like we’re playing in Chennai thanks to them all. We’re hoping to return to Chennai for the fans “Dhoni went on to say.

In pursuit of 193, the KKR openers got off to a good start, hitting the ball to all parts of the pitch. With a 91-run stand for the first wicket, Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill looked to run away with the game.

Shardul Thakur’s twin-wicket over, in which he bowled Iyer (50) and Nitish Rana, got CSK back into the game (first-ball duck).
