This specific match is billed as possibly MS Dhoni’s final match. Wasim Akram, a former bowler for Pakistan, has shared his thoughts on the trending topic amidst all the rumors. On May 18, Chennai Super King’s tenure in the Indian Premier League 2024 came to an end with a defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The reigning champs had the advantage going into the game of death, but they were unable to cross the line when it mattered most.
Dhoni had earlier made hints that Chennai might host his farewell Twenty20 match. With the 2024 Indian Premier League finals slated to take place in Chennai, the stage was set for an ideal farewell. But with CSK departing early, there is little chance that Dhoni will get his wish. But Akram believes that after the season, the former captain of CSK might as well hang up his boots.
“[Regarding MS Dhoni’s future] I feel that he will be done following this. It all depends on him; players like him don’t come around very often. [Regarding Memorable Six] His legacy encompasses more than simply his [110m] six. For Indian cricket, he has accomplished a lot. He brought the attitude. This will be Wasim Akram’s legacy as a captain because of his ability to maintain composure, play captaincy knocks, develop into a finisher, develop teammates, and exhibit consistency, as reported by News18.
