Dhoni With KKR in IPL 2018: Shah Rukh Klkata

Klkata, 4/26

MS Dhoni is widely regarded as one of the

most successful players in the Indian Premier

League. The wicketkeeper-batsman, as captain

of the Chennai Super Kings, won the IPL and

Champions League T20 on two occasions.

Dhoni’s ability to lead and finish close

matches transformed CSK into the most

dominant team in the IPL. After the two-year

ban on CSK, Dhoni’s services were secured by

the Rising Pune Supergiant. As captain, Mahi

failed to weave his magic at Pune in the

first season and Steve Smith was handed the

captaincy for the 10th edition of the

tournament.

At the moment, there is no clarity over the

future of RPS and Gujarat Lions, two teams

that replaced CSK and Rajasthan Royals for a

two-year period. With CSK and RR making a

return to the IPL next season, it remains to

be seen what process the BCCI follows for the

squad selection of these two teams. Will

Dhoni join CSK or be part of the auction?

These are some of the questions cricket

lovers have been asking.

There’s no doubt that every IPL franchise

owner would want to sign up Dhoni, even at

this stage of his career. And Kolkata Knight

Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan is no

different.

When asked whether he would be interested in

having Dhoni at KKR, King Khan had this to

say to Sporstwallah,”Yaar main toh usko apna

Pyjama bech ke bhi kharid lun, wo aaye toh

auction mein (I’m ready to sell my pyjama for

buying MS Dhoni but that can happen only when

he is available for auction right?)”.

Dhoni hasn’t enjoyed a great run in the IPL

this term. However, he did turn back the

clock with an unbeaten 61-run knock to help

Pune beat defending champions Sunrisers

Hyderabad in a thrilling contest.
