What really got fans talking was a moment caught on camera during the game Dhoni’s wife, Sakshi, was seen speaking to their daughter and appeared to say “last match.” The clip quickly made rounds on social media, with many fans wondering if she was hinting at Dhoni retiring soon. When asked about it in the post-match press conference, CSK’s head coach Stephen Fleming didn’t give much away. He said no final decision had been made regarding Dhoni’s future.
