“Well, I think definitely. And it’s a simple reason – It will be unfair to not play in Chennai and say thank you. Mumbai is one place where as a team and as an individual I have got a lot of love and affection. It won’t be nice to CSK fans. Also, hopefully next year teams will be traveling so it will be a thank you to the different venues where we will be playing,” Dhoni said.
So will IPL 2023 be his final? Dhoni said, “Whether it will be my final season or not that’s a big question because you cannot predict something that big two years down the line. Definitely I will be working hard to come back strong next year.”
