MS Dhoni became the joint-most successful captain in the history of the IPL as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the 2023 edition of the competition after defeating Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final in Ahmedabad. It was CSK’s fifth title under Dhoni’s captaincy. However, after the final, all eyes were on him whether he will announce retirement or not.
However, Dhoni confirmed that he is most likely to play another year despite some injury and fitness setbacks. After the tournament, he was seen visiting Mumbai and had a successful knee surgery. Dhoni played the whole tournament with a knee injury. But, now an image has gone viral where MS Dhoni was seen with his friends in Ranchi while wearing a fancy shirt. Seeing such a dress, fans went crazy and shared their views on social media.
Here is the shared image:

“Every time he walks into a room, there's an aura around him.” - Devon Conway about MS Dhoni
Meanwhile, after winning the title with CSK, the Kiwi opener Devon Conway shared his equation with Dhoni in a chat with ESPNCricinfo. He said: “I've been lucky to spend quite a lot of time with him. Moeen (Ali), MS, (Ajinkya) Rahane and I spent a lot of time in the team room watching a lot of IPL games, talking about different teams and strategies, and in general, life beyond cricket.”
“The relationship I have with MS is cool; he gives me a lot of banter and chirp, quirky one-liners. Now I've started to give it back to him (laughs). The respect is immense. Every time he walks into a room, there's an aura around him. You want to talk to him, understand what he has to say because of his status in cricket and what he has achieved,” Conway further added.
He also opened up about the funny wicketkeeping sessions that they had during the session. Conway said: “He's learnt his craft over so many years and I guess it's hard for him to explain how he does things because it's so natural. The sessions were funny. What was actually simple for him was so complicated for me since I'm still just part-time. He's on a different wavelength to how I am when I work on my wicketkeeping. It was all the more incredible because he doesn't keep at training.”
Here is how fans have reacted to the viral image:
