"It's the last phase of my career"- MS Dhoni after the victory against SRH
Speaking at the post-match presentation, MS Dhoni opened up that he has reached the final chapter of his playing career and is trying to enjoy it. He also expressed gratitude for the unwavering love showered by the home team fans in Chennai. He said:
"It's the last phase of my career. It's important to enjoy it. It feels good to play here. We haven't played in Chennai a lot. They have given a lot of love and affection. Not getting enough chances to bat, but I'm not complaining. The team is doing well and it's good to be here."
Shedding light on his thought process in this game, Dhoni added:
"I was quite hesitant to bat second because I had that feeling it was cloudy and dew might not come in. So, I was seeing around to what was happening. The spinners bowled very good lengths and it was gripping a bit. The middle overs were the set up and the fast bowlers did really well in the last 3-4 overs. Pathirana, especially, bowled really well."
CSK will next face KKR on Sunday, April 23.
