All eyes were on Ravindra Jadeja and Mohit Sharma on the last ball of the IPL final but Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's head bowed and eyes closed in the dugout. His eyes opened when Jadeja hit Mohit for a boundary and started running towards him and the Chennai cricketers shouted with joy. Dhoni also could not control his emotions and he hugged Jadeja and lifted him in his arms. Ravindra Jadeja, who scored 10 runs off the last two balls in the final, dedicated the IPL title win to Dhoni, while CSK owner N Srinivasan said that only Dhoni can do this miracle.

Hard work for the next nine months will be harder than retiring
Dhoni's name is on everyone's lips after CSK's title win and the only question is whether Mahi will play in the next season or not. According to Dhoni himself, he is still in a quandary regarding this. After the match, Dhoni said that considering the circumstances, this is the right time to retire. It would be easy for him to say thank you and announce his retirement, but to work hard in the coming nine months and play the next IPL would be a difficult task. The body has to be kept perfectly fit. Dhoni even said that the kind of love he has received from CSK fans. In such a situation, playing in his next IPL will be a gift to his fans.


IPL-16 immersed in Dhoni's love
Wherever Dhoni went to play this season, he received tremendous love from the fans. As soon as he landed on the ground, the stadium was drowned in the sound of Dhoni-Dhoni. Dhoni says that when he came out to play in the first match at Chepauk, everyone in the stadium was calling his name. Seeing this, his eyes were filled with tears. I felt the need to spend some time in the dugout. Later he realized that there was a need to enjoy it. They love him for who he is. They don't need to show anything extra for it.

Good things happen to good people: Hardik
It is not just CSK fans, management, and cricketers who are singing praises of Dhoni. Hardik Pandya, the captain of Gujarat Titans and close to Dhoni, is also praising him. Hardik says that fate had written the title win for him. He is very happy for him (Dhoni). I don't regret losing to him. Good things happen to good people and Dhoni is one of the nicest people he knows. God is very kind. God has been kind to them too, but tonight was Dhonis.

Srinivasan congratulated Dhoni
While Jadeja along with his wife Riva dedicated the IPL trophy to Dhoni. He said that this victory is for the special person of CSK. Jadeja said that being from Gujarat, winning his fifth IPL in front of his home crowd is special. On Tuesday morning, CSK owner N Srinivasan spoke to Dhoni and congratulated him. Srinivasan told Dhoni Captain, awesome, you have done a miracle, only you can do it. We are proud of the team.

Did not practice wicketkeeping
However, according to a former Chennai cricketer, it is difficult for Dhoni to play in the next season. He can enter the field as a wicketkeeper as an impact cricketer. Coach Stephen Fleming also agreed that Dhoni is exceptional at wicket-keeping, but he can tell that he hasn't practiced wicket-keeping at all this IPL season. He did go wicket-keeping once with Devon Conway, but it was kind of a joke.
