Dhoni, who is currently in Ranchi, is enjoying his time away from the game. Lately, he was seen pampering his friend’s kid at his place in Ranchi.

Dhoni brought an end to speculations over his participation in IPL 2024 after CSK won the title earlier in teh year.

“Looking for an answer? This is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love I have received all over. The easy thing would be to walk away from here, but the harder thing would be working hard for 9 months and try to play another IPL. It would be a gift from me, won’t be easy on the body,” Dhoni told broadcasters moments before he joined his teammates to collect the IPL trophy.

Meanwhile, Kohli is on a break from his national duties. He would join the team ahead of the Asia Cup 2023 in Sri Lanka.
