South African cricket legend AB de Villiers expressed his delight at seeing MS Dhoni’s name on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) retention list for the upcoming IPL 2024 season. Dhoni, who led CSK to their sixth IPL title in 2023, had confirmed his return despite playing with a knee niggle throughout the season.
De Villiers, speaking on his YouTube channel, remarked, “I see that man’s name on the retention list, and it just makes me happy. With him, he is always full of surprises. Maybe he has got three more to go, who knows? But it is just great to see his name on there.”
Despite speculations about Dhoni’s retirement after the 2023 season, the iconic cricketer affirmed his commitment to play for CSK in 2024 as a gesture to the fans who have supported him.
CSK retained key players like MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ruturaj Gaikwad, maintaining the core of their championship-winning team. Dhoni’s leadership and impactful performances with the bat were instrumental in CSK’s success in the previous season.
De Villiers also discussed CSK’s potential target in the IPL 2024 auction, Shahrukh Khan, who was released by Punjab Kings. “He (Shahrukh Khan) is a strong player and is pretty consistent. I am very sure some of the teams will be very keen to get him over there. That’s where CSK stands out. They are very good at picking up released players,” added de Villiers.
