MS Dhoni has given enough hints that he won’t play another IPL season: Mohammad Kaif | Cricket News – Times of India

<p>Led by their talisman Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings did a special lap of honour around the Chepauk to thank the home crowd after their match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.</p>

<p>Even as the spectators went berserk at seeing their favourite player leading their team out after the game, batting great Sunil Gavaskar ran up to the two-time World Cup-winning captain for an autograph. (BCCI/IPL Photo)</p>

<p>Probably playing in his last IPL, Dhoni, holding a racquet in one hand, was also seen hitting some balls into the crowd before tossing a few jerseys in that direction.</p>

<p>The policemen at the venue also had their moments as they shook hands with Dhoni before getting his autographs. </p>

<p>The game, however, did not turn out the way CSK would have liked as they lost by six wickets. </p>

<p>Batting first after winning the toss, CSK could only make 144/6. </p>

<p>Chasing 145 for victory, KKR faced some early hiccups before reaching the target in 18.3 overs. </p>

<p>Rinku Singh and skipper Nitish Rana made 54 and unbeaten 57 respectively. </p>

<p>Dhoni said the conditions, including dew, had a big impact on the match. </p>

<p>Winning captain Nitish Rana was relieved with the outcome. </p>
