Thursday, Dhoni underwent successful knee surgery at the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, according to a CSK source quoted by media.

“He is doing well and will be discharged within two days. A few days of recuperation would precede the beginning of his extensive rehabilitation. It is now anticipated that he will have sufficient time to recover before the next IPL.”

The former India captain performed poorly throughout the entire season and batted at No. 8 to avoid extended runs in the batting order. Now 41 years old, Dhoni required heavy strapping on his left knee to prevent severe injury and miss a significant portion of the tournament. He participated in all 16 games for the franchise, earning 104 runs.

Earlier on Wednesday, it was reported that Dhoni will seek medical advice before deciding whether or not to undergo surgery. The CSK captain is still hopeful of playing in the 2024 IPL season and has not ruled out the possibility of donning the iconic yellow jersey once more.

Yes, Dhoni will seek medical advice for his left knee injury before making a decision, Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan told media on Wednesday.

If surgery is recommended, it will not be known until the results are in; it will be his decision alone.

Viswanathan also questioned Dhoni’s availability for the upcoming season, despite his assertion that he would play for the supporters for “at least” one more year. If Dhoni decides to retire from the IPL, CSK will have an additional INR 15 crore to spend in the 2023-24 mini-auction.

Dhoni and company required a last-ball finish to claim the IPL 2023 title in a rain-affected match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Ravindra Jadeja hit a six and a four off the final two balls to help CSK claim its fifth championship. The defeat of Gujarat Titans prevented them from defending the IPL championship, as they were unable to win the contest.

Throughout the innings, but particularly in the first six overs, CSK bowlers leaked runs. At the conclusion of the powerplay, CSK had given up 64 runs without taking any wickets. This paved the way for Rajasthan to set a target that was above average, given the average number of runs scored in the first innings.

“It (the target) was significantly above par. The reason was that the first six overs allowed too many runs, but the pitch was optimal for batting at that time. Even as they neared completion, the edges continued to seek out boundaries. They scored the required number of runs, and we were unable to halt them,” CSK captain MS Dhoni said after the match.

Even though he conceded 48 runs in four overs, CSK captain Matheesha Pathirana’s bowling performance stood out despite the fact that every other CSK bowler conceded a large number of runs.

“I thought his (Pathirana’s) bowling was excellent, not that it was poor. The scorecard does not accurately reflect his bowling performance.”

Rajasthan’s potent opener Yashasvi Jaiswal’s quick-fire 77(43) run kept CSK bowlers on edge. Tushar Deshpande took his wicket in the fourteenth over, but the harm had already been done.

“Yashasvi batted extraordinarily well, as it was crucial to attack the bowlers, and took calculated risks. It was marginally easier against our bowlers due to the fact that we had to judge the appropriate lengths. Even so, Yashasvi batted well at the top of the order, and Jurel batted exceptionally well at the end. Dhoni concluded, “I believe my first ODI hundred in Vizag gave me about 10 games, but the 183 overs here gave me the opportunity for one year, so this venue is dear to me.”

CSK’s next match will take place on Sunday at the MA Chidambaram Stadium against Punjab Kings.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 43-ball 77 at the top of the order and Dhruv Jurel’s (34 off 15) and Devdutt Padikkal’s (27* off 13) late-innings pyrotechnics helped Rajasthan Royals post 202/5 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, the highest-ever IPL total in Jaipur.

Despite Shivam Dube’s 52 off 33 balls, CSK were unable to take the lead in the chase and were limited to 170/6. Mahendra Singh Dhoni and company dropped to second place as RR completed a season-long double over them.

Jaiswal was in superb form from the start. He struck three fours off the first four balls bowled by the left-arm pacer, Akash Singh, before hitting three fours and a six off the left-arm pacer in the second over. On his way to his third fifty of the season, the left-handed batsman once again demonstrated why he is one of the most promising Indian players.

Rajasthan reached 85/0 in eight overs despite Jos Buttler’s relatively poor batting performance (27 runs off 21 balls). Prior to Tushar Deshpande’s dismissal of Jaiswal and captain Sanju Samson (17 runs off 17 balls) in the 14th over, England’s ace opener fell in the ninth over. Soon after, Shimron Hetmyer also fell inexpensively (8 off 10) to make matters worse for RR.

From the 14th to the 17th over, Chennai had a strong period, allowing only 28 runs. Thanks to Jurel and Padikkal, RR was able to score 49 runs in the final three overs to mount a spirited comeback.

Maheesh Theekshana (1/24) bowled with excellent skill and control, whereas his Sri Lankan teammate Matheesha Pathirana (0/48) was costly.

In response, CSK posted their lowest powerplay total of the season (42/1) as Sandeep Sharma, in particular, performed superbly by allowing only eight runs in two overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad continued his impressive run and scored 47 runs off 29 balls before being dismissed by Adam Zampa in the tenth over.

In the eleventh over, R Ashwin removed the in-form Ajinkya Rahane and Ambati Rayudu within three deliveries. This was a pivotal juncture in the match. CSK required a partnership after being reduced to 73/4, and Shivam Dube and Moeen Ali (23 off 12) provided it quickly.

Dube went on to score his third consecutive fifty and hit four sixes during his innings to give CSK a glimmer of hope. In the end, however, the target proved to be too large as RR bowled with discipline and allowed only 45 runs in the final five overs. Dube and Ravindra Jadeja (23* off 15) pieced together 46 runs for the sixth wicket, but it was insufficient.

Zampa was the most effective bowler with 3/22, while Sharma returned wicketless but bowled a high-quality spell of 0/24.

KL Rahul, captain of the LSG, won the toss and elected to bowl first, with Yash Thakur making his debut in place of Jaydev Unadkat. Despite losing their first contests, MS Dhoni’s CSK fielded the same eleven players.

Ruturaj Gaikwad continued his golden run of form in the tournament by scoring 57 runs off 32 deliveries for his second consecutive fifty. In contrast, Devon Conway scored 47 runs off 29 balls as the pair posted 110 runs in the opening partnership.

Ravi Bishnoi altered the game and halted CSK’s attack by taking three wickets in the middle order, while prominent overseas players Mooen Ali and Ben Stokes were rendered ineffective. Ambati Rayudu scored 27 runs in 14 deliveries while remaining unblemished at the crease.

MS Dhoni, however, stole the show by smashing two consecutive sixes off Mark Wood’s bowling in the 20th over of CSK’s innings to help the team end with 217 runs.

Kyle Mayers threatened to steal the game away from CSK by scoring 53 off 22 balls against the Delhi Capitals. The Windies opener was the first of Mooen Ali’s four dismissals, which altered the game’s trajectory. Moeen dismissed captain Rahul for 18 out of 20 and also took out Krunal Pandy and Marcus Stoinis. Moeen concluded his four-over spell with figures of four wickets for 26 runs.

Nicholas Pooran gave LSG hope of a late recovery with 32 runs off 18 balls, but it was too little, too late as CSK celebrated a successful homecoming.
