The defending champions of IPL 2024, Chennai Super Kings are expecting a comeback of their captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for the next edition of the Indian Premier League. Notably, Chennai Super Kings won their fifth IPL title under the leadership of MS Dhoni as the team beat Gujarat Titans in the final game on the reserve day.
MS Dhoni recently talked about the setback he faced after his runout as India lost the game against New Zealand in the semifinals of the ODI World Cup 2019. He also gave major recovery updates about his knee and his comeback for the IPL 2024. MS Dhoni also said if his knee fails to recover he might as well watch the game with the fans and miss on the season.
“Knee has survived the operation, going through the rehab patch, the doctor told me you would feel much better by November. But no problem in day-to-day routine”, said MS Dhoni while giving updates about his injury.

“I just had knee surgery, if everything goes right, you’ll see me playing the IPL one year at a time. If not, I’ll watch the match with fans (smiles),” said MS Dhoni while hinting at his comeback for IPL 2024.
“When you lose a close game, (ODI World Cup 2019 semi-final), the planning has already been done inside. That was the last time I played cricket for India. I retired a year later but the fact was that day, I retired. Every time, I went to the trainer, I gave the machine back to him. I told him to keep it but never got to tell him at that point that there is no need as I won’t be using it because I did not want to announce at that point in time,” he added.
“You are high on emotion, and the only thing that you have done in the last 12-15 years is playing cricket and then, there is no more chance of you representing your country. Irrespective of which sport you play, when you go out to play, you represent your country,” said Dhoni.
