“100 per cent” – Dwayne Bravo opens up on MS Dhoni’s future post IPL 2023
There has been a lot of speculations over MS Dhoni's retirement decision.
Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s future post the 2023 Indian Premier League has become the talk of the town. There are speculations about the wicket-keeper batter hanging his boots following the conclusion of the ongoing season. However, Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Dwayne Bravo is certain that the skipper will play in the 2024 Indian Premier League season.
Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been associated with the Chennai Super Kings since the first season. He is one of the most successful captains in the tournament. Under his leadership, the Chennai Super Kings have reached the final of the ongoing season by defeating the Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. This will be their 10th appearance in the final in the history of the tournament. Following the win in Qualifier 1, Dwayne Bravo spoke about Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s future in the tournament post this season.
“100 per cent (on MS Dhoni playing for CSK in 2024), especially with the Impact Player rule. He can keep prolonging his career. We bat really deep. I think the likes of Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube, these guys make a huge difference. So, you don’t require much from MS. But his ability to keep us calm while the team is under pressure is unmatched,” said Dwayne Bravo.
