MS Dhoni arrives in Mumbai with Bhagavad Gita by his side

Chennai Super Kings on Monday achieved a historic feat by winning their fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title after defeating Gujarat Titans in the final. The remarkable achievement was largely attributed to the exceptional leadership of their skipper MS Dhoni and excellent planning and execution by the management team.

During the IPL 2023 season, Dhoni was battling a left knee injury. Surprisingly, this did not affect his performance as a wicket-keeper, but it did affect his batting. Due to a knee ailment, the 41-year-old had to bat lower down the order and faced difficulties while running between the wickets.

Recently, Kasi Viswanathan, CEO of Chennai Super Kings revealed that Dhoni will seek medical advice regarding the condition of his knee. Ultimately, Dhoni himself will decide whether to undergo surgery or not.

On Wednesday, Dhoni reached Mumbai to consult a specialist regarding his knee injury. If reports are to be believed, he is to undergo surgery today (June 1). Interestingly, before the procedure, the cricketer was seen carrying the Bhagavad Gita, which is a source of strength and inspiration for him.

Dhoni has been battling knee troubles throughout this year’s IPL, and this surgery could potentially pave the way for his comeback next season.

While fans will be praying for Dhoni’s speedy recovery, it will be interesting to see how long the recovery period will be for the CSK skipper. He has not ruled out the possibility of another season in CSK colours.

“It was the right time to retire but I feel I had to give one more season for the love of the fans. They made my season special. I know it’s going to be tough for my body but I have a decision to make.” There are 8-9 months to take. I will try my best to play in IPL 2024,” Dhoni said at the presentation after the IPL final.
