Dhoni shares a close connection with the city, having been part of the franchise for nearly two decades. On the other hand, Anirudh had a few encounters with the former wicket-keeper batter in the past. Even during the recent season of the IPL, he performed at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk ahead of the franchise’s opening game of the event against the Mumbai Indians.
“I have always said that there is a lot of time for me to decide, but if you are asking about coming back in a yellow jersey, I will always be in a yellow jersey, whether I am playing or not, is a different matter. And CSK, we are together. You know, even for the next 15-20 years (crowd cheers). I hope they don't think I'll be playing for another 15-20 years.” Dhoni expressed during an event.
The former right-handed batter has smashed a total of 5439 runs in 242 innings at a strike rate of 137.45, with the help of 24 half-centuries at the best score of unbeaten 84 runs.
