With the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 just around the corner, Dhoni’s post has sparked speculation and excitement among fans and experts alike.

Dhoni’s post, which read “Can’t wait for the new season and the new ‘role’. Stay tuned!”. The timing of his message, coming just before the IPL’s curtain-raiser on March 22nd, where CSK will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Chennai, has only added to the intrigue.

Dhoni’s social media activity holds particular intrigue due to his reputation for maintaining a low profile online. Unlike many modern-day cricketers, Dhoni has often been portrayed as someone who refrains from being present on social media, preferring to let his performances on the field speak for themselves. Therefore, his recent post has piqued curiosity, prompting speculation about the nature of the “new role” he alludes to.

Despite the speculation surrounding his future in the tournament, Dhoni has not shown any signs of slowing down. Throughout the year, he has been spotted honing his skills on the field, diligently practising in the nets, and maintaining his fitness regimen with regular gym sessions.
