Watch: MS Dhoni opens up on his retirement plans ahead of CSK's clash against RCB

Former Indian legendary captain MS Dhoni is currently leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the ongoing 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). He is leading the four-time champions for the 14th time in his career and is also hoping to get his hands on the coveted trophy for the fifth time.

The wicketkeeper-batter already retired from international cricket in 2020 but continued to play in the richest cricket league in the world. However, it is highly anticipated that Dhoni might be leading CSK for the last time this season as the 41-year-old is thinking about retirement. Meanwhile, recently, Dhoni refused to talk about anything now as he doesn’t want to put pressure on the team and the coaching staff.

There hasn't been a captain like MS Dhoni: Sunil Gavaskar

Dhoni started leading CSK from the inaugural edition of IPL in 2008 and still he is leading the team, however, the team was banned for two (2016 and 2017) due to the involvement of their officials in some illegal activities. However, they made a grand comeback in 2018 when they became the champion for the 3rd time. Meanwhile, recently, former Indian legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that CSK know how to be back on the winning track and also showered praise on Dhoni by saying that he is a different captain.

"CSK know how to get out of tough situations. This has been possible only under MS Dhoni's captaincy. Captaining 200 matches is very difficult. Captaining so many matches is a burden and it could have affected his performance as well. But Mahi is different. He is a different captain. There hasn't been a captain like him and there will never be one like him in the future." Gavaskar was quoted as saying by TimesofIndia"
