MS Dhoni played his last match of IPL 2024 in Bengaluru last week

May 18 marked the end of Chennai Super Kings' title defense in IPL 2024. The defending champions suffered a defeat in the do-or-die match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. CSK had to score at least 201 runs to qualify while chasing a target of 219, but they scored 191/7 in 20 overs and missed out on a playoffs spot by just 10 runs.

MS Dhoni tried his best to take the Chennai Super Kings home with a 13-ball 25. He even smashed a 110m six, but he handed a catch to Swapnil Singh off Yash Dayal's bowling soon after hitting that gigantic maximum.

Dhoni has now returned from Bengaluru to his hometown in Ranchi. CSK fans and officials are hopeful that he will return to the IPL next year as well. It will be interesting to see if the CSK wicketkeeper continues his extraordinary journey or decides to call it a day on his career.
