The tryst of MS Dhoni and the Chennai Super Kings is a fabled affair and in what may be Thala’s last season as captain and player in the Indian Premier League, expect to see the Chepauk packed to the rafters. In their quest for glory, the Chennai Super Kings faithful will want to bid farewell to their leader in the best way possible by winning the coveted trophy.
In an exclusive interaction with Star Sports, official television broadcasters of the TATA IPL 2023, former Australia batsman Matthew Hayden spoke on how excited he is to see fans back in the Chepauk supporting the CSK, the legacy of MSD and how great it would be for him to go out in style.
Speaking exclusively to Star Sports, former Australia batsman Matthew Hayden spoke on the return of the Chennai Super Kings to the Chepauk Stadium and what would probably be MS Dhoni’s final campaign as a player in the IPL, he said “2023, here we go again! The IPL is on and it’s also in every venue across India post Covid. It’s going to be remarkable, just the amount of supporters, the Yellow Army that is going to pile into the Chepauk Stadium. And they are going to be the same side that’s going to be very difficult to beat at home as well. Their record at home, at Chepauk, is undeniably the best in the IPL. That venue is a fortress. And they are going to have MS Dhoni as their captain, arguably for the last time and that’s going to be one of those moments that no one is ever going to forget. He has especially stayed on in the IPL to say goodbye to his fans at Chepauk and they are going to turn up like you just couldn’t imagine.”
Watch:
With just over 20 days to go for TATA IPL 2023, fans are gearing up for what seems to be a showdown for the ages. With a myriad of storylines leading up to the start of the tournament, fans will be glued to their television sets as the newest edition of the tournament unfolds. Social media has been buzzing with the drop of the Star Sports campaign – ‘Shor on, Game on!’ which has galvanised fans and increased the chorus of support drastically.
Speaking exclusively to Star Sports, former Australia batsman Matthew Hayden spoke on the Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni’s legacy in the IPL and how they would want to pay a fitting tribute to him, he said “See CSK, they notoriously find a way to do things unique and special. Take their hiatus out of their IPL, it was unfortunate the two years they weren’t playing, and they came back the year after that to win the IPL, it was most unexpected. And they have a way! MS Dhoni has a way of revitalising, revamping, making it just a completely different look and feel to the side, even though it’s had this great tag of having complete trust in few players and having retained most of their players. So for MS Dhoni, I think this year in particular, it’s going to be a year celebrated like no other. It’s the finish I believe of the legacy of MS Dhoni and he will want to go out in style with his fans, who’d want him to go out in style as well.”
