IPL 2024: Dejected MS Dhoni leaves field without shaking hands with RCB players after CSK’s loss

MS Dhoni has seen a lot of ups and downs during his illustrious career but Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on May 18 in IPL 2024 must have been a bitter pill to swallow for the iconic wicketkeeper-batter.

This was expected to be Dhoni’s final season as a professional cricketer and the stalwart would have wanted to finish on a triumphant note. The 42-year-old has been struggling with a knee issue but he played all of Chennai’s 14 matches this season through the pain. On Saturday, after CSK’s 27-run loss to RCB, it seemed the end of the road for the Men in Yellow in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
