With Chennai Super Kings set to take on Gujarat Titans in the final of the IPL 2023, there has been a lot of discussion around the possibility of the fixture being MS Dhoni’s last IPL game.

The Indian batter informed about the development while taking on social media.

It’s been quite a journey.I have decided that tonight’s final is going to be my last game in the Ipl.I truly have enjoyed playing this great tournament. Thank u all.
