CSK vs RR: The Kolkata team has secured a place in the playoffs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and now there is a real battle between seven teams for the remaining three places. So today i.e. 12th May can be a memorable day for the fans of Chennai and especially for the fans of Dhoni. In the first match of the day, Chennai Super Kings will face Rajasthan Royals. In this match, the eyes of the fans will be on former Indian team captain M.S. Dhoni (MS Dhoni) will remain. Because this match could be Dhoni's last match.
Dhoni had expressed a wish years ago
Mahendra Singh Dhoni had expressed his wish a few years ago that he wants to play his last IPL match in front of CSK fans on the Chennai ground, now if Mahi does not do so then it will be unfair to his fans. In such a situation, speculations are being made that today's match against Rajasthan Royals could be Dhoni's last match on the Chennai ground. It is noteworthy that CSK had lost in the last match.
Chennai's hopes of reaching the playoffs dashed
Due to this defeat of Chennai, the team's hopes of reaching the playoffs have been dashed. CSK is at fourth position in the points table of IPL 2024 after winning 6 out of 12 matches. And now the team has a chance to reach 16 points, if the team loses even one of the next two matches then the team will be left with 14 points, in such a case it will not be able to reach the playoffs. After this, Chennai will have to depend on the results of other teams. If seen this way, if CSK does not make it to the playoffs, then this could be Dhoni's last match in Chennai.
However, fans may get a glimpse of Dhoni twice
On the other hand, if Chennai Super Kings manages to qualify for the playoffs, then Dhoni's fans may get a glimpse of Dhoni not once but twice at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. It is noteworthy that this ground in Chennai has hosted the Qualifier-2 and final match of IPL 2024. However, to play both these knockout matches, CSK will have to first qualify for the playoffs.
