Chennai Super Kings face a disappointing end to their IPL 2024 campaign after suffering a virtual knockout loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The defeat sparked widespread speculation about the future of MS Dhoni, the team’s former captain who turns 43 in July.
Throughout the season, Dhoni continued to struggle with a knee injury and many fans believed that he would bid farewell to his illustrious career if CSK clinched the title in Chennai. However, Dhoni’s future in cricket remains uncertain as RCB snubbed the offer.
Amid uncertainty, Dhoni has decided to stay away from speculation. A recent video that went viral on social media showed the former CSK captain flying in economy class on a commercial flight from Bengaluru to Ranchi. The moment Dhoni left his luggage in the overhead bin and took his seat left his fellow passengers in awe.
The sight of Dhoni in such a setting quickly caught the attention of those on the boat, who enthusiastically documented the moment on their phones. Even the last captain of the team to lift the ICC title, the passengers also praised Dhoni as they showed their respect to the former Indian skipper.
