Story highlights
Ahead of the IPL 2023 edition, Deepak Chahar provided a BIG update on MS Dhoni's future in the mega event. Will Thala Dhoni retire after IPL 16?
MS Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket despite retiring from the international level on August 15, 2020. The former Indian captain remains active in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and is gearing up to lead the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the forthcoming 2023 edition.
Dhoni is one who likes to reveal nothing about his future plans. While he hasn't made it official that IPL 2023 will be his last season in the mega event, many believe he will be playing his final season. This, CSK fast-bowling all-rounder Deepak Chahar spilled the beans on Thala Dhoni's future.
"No one has said that this would be his final year. At least, he hasn’t. Hopefully, he will play more. We don’t know any such thing; we want him to play as much as he can," Chahar told News India Sports.
