MS Dhoni’s stellar career
MS Dhoni has played 90 Tests, 350 ODIs, and 98 T20Is for India, leading the country to victories in the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy. He retired from international cricket in 2019 but continues to play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Nose is similar to Mahi…
CSK, five-time IPL champions, have retained Dhoni as an ‘uncapped player’ for Rs. 4 crore. This was possible after the IPL’s reintroduction of a rule from 2008, allowing Indian players retired from international cricket for five or more years to enter the auction as uncapped players.
