CSK defeated Kings XI Punjab by 9 wickets to finish their IPL 2020 marketing campaign on a excessive.
CSK was already out of the match and by defeating KXIP they ended the journey of Punjab in IPL 2020 too. But what Dhoni mentioned on the toss gave his followers quite a bit to cheer about.

Iconic Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar, who has additionally turned a commentator now, expressed happiness after listening to this and gave an recommendation to Dhoni forward of the subsequent IPL season.
“It certainly does (bring a smile on my face). He has been such a charismatic cricketer, he brings so much joy with his batting, with his wicketkeeping, and leadership qualities. And his general demeanor on and off the field, what a role model he has been. The more we see of MS Dhoni, the better we feel,” Sunil Gavaskar instructed Star Sports.
“So yes, definitely not. He has got to play on. Well, Sanga said it earlier on as well, he has got to play competitive cricket. Being in the nets is fine but unless he plays competitive cricket, particularly because he is at an age where the reflexes slow down. What do you tend to lose as you get older is your timing. Everything might look good. You look at yourself in the mirror, nothing has changed. You might actually lose a little bit of weight, you might go to the gym to get stronger and fitter. But your timing changes, the timing in the sense, you think your foot is going towards the ball, but it’s just that much short for you getting a good drive or the ball going in the air,” he added.
Gavaskar famous that Dhoni might play home cricket to regain his kind and rating 400 runs in IPL 2021.
“These are little things he has to look at. That means he has to play domestic cricket. There might be no domestic cricket. In that case, not much can be done. But the more he plays competitive cricket, actually matches… in the nets, there will be no pressure, match brings pressure. If he does that, I think he will be good to score 400 runs next year as well,” Gavaskar mentioned.
