Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden says the upcoming IPL will be “celebrated like no other” by CSK as their talisman MS Dhoni will likely make his final appearance as a player in the franchise-based T20 league. Dhoni has been captaining CSK since the inaugural edition of the league in 2008, leading them to four wins.

Speaking to Star Sports, Matthew Hayden said –

“See CSK, they notoriously find a way to do things unique and special. Take their hiatus out of their IPL, it was unfortunate the two years they weren’t playing, and they came back the year after that to win the IPL, it was most unexpected. And they have a way!”

Matthew added – “MS Dhoni has a way of revitalising, revamping, making it just a completely different look and feel to the side, even though it’s had this great tag of having complete trust in few players and having retained most of their players.”

Matthew further said –

“So for MS Dhoni, I think this year in particular, it’s going to be a year celebrated like no other. It’s the finish I believe of the legacy of MS Dhoni and he will want to go out in style with his fans, who’d want him to go out in style as well.” The upcoming edition of the IPL starts from March 31.
