New Delhi: Fans were quick to troll MS Dhoni, after Dinesh Karthik quietly called time on his IPL career on Wednesday as RCB lost to RR.
Dinesh Karthik, the veteran wicketkeeper-batter received an emotional embrace from Virat Kohli, and also took off his gloves to acknowledge the spectators present in the stadium in Chennai.
No old age drama, never did retirement drama for attention, never hiding behind others in tough situations.

For the past few seasons, the India legend has been rumoured to announce his retirement, but it hasn’t happened yet, adding more spice to the drama. In CSK’s final home game this season, there was a lap of honour for Dhoni and his teammates, with many feeling that this could be his final-ever match at the Chepauk.
Taking to X, one fan wrote, “No old age drama, never did retirement drama for attention, never hiding behind others in tough situations.”
