Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday took to social media to urge their fans to stay at the home arena for their Chepauk Stadium following the conclusion of their match with Rajasthan Royals (RR), hinting that "something special" is coming their way.
This is Chennai's final match at home in the league stages, with their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on May 18 at Bengaluru marking their final game in league stages.
In the knockout stages, the Qualifier two on May 24 and the final on May 26 will be held in Chennai. However, if Chennai does not qualify for the playoffs, this match against Rajasthan will not only be their final home game for this year, but also for their former skipper and star player MS Dhoni, who could be playing his last IPL season of his career. If CSK's playoff chances become slim with upcoming matches, this match could mark his final appearance at Chennai's home ground.
In 13 matches and 10 innings this year, Dhoni has scored 136 runs at an average of 68.00 and a strike rate of 226.66, with the best score of 37*. Coming down the order, he has smashed 11 fours and 12 sixes and dismissed only twice.
