'I think everyone wants him to keep going' - Kevin Pietersen on MS Dhoni

"KP (Kevin Pietersen) spoke about it earlier, about the Impact Player. As an impact player, he can stick around and play. Players like him come once in a century, not even once in a generation. And therefore, you just want to see more and more of them. We are hoping this is not the last hurrah and that he will be around for some more time to come." Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

I think everybody wants to keep going. With the impact player becoming more relevant now, I think he can. Yes, absolutely. This is the one tournament he needs to get up for. He can rest his body. If something is wrong with his knee, he can try and sort it out over the next couple of months. Why not? Kevin Pietersen said on Star Sports. MS Dhoni has won four IPL titles with CSK.

MS Dhoni has scored just 98 runs in 13 matches in IPL 2023.ย  But his role has been very impactful. The CSK skipper has an astonishing strike rate of 196 along with a good average of 49. He has mainly come in and struck some lovely cameos for CSK at number seven for the franchise.
