Chennai Super Kings fans were left intrigued following a social media post from the franchise just ahead of their crucial IPL 2024 match against Rajasthan Royals in Chennai on Sunday. CSK took to social media to post a special message for the supporters –  “Requesting the Superfans to Stay back after the game! Something special coming your way!”. While most fans commented that the team will take a lap of honour as it is their final IPL 2024 league game at home. However, some speculated that it can be an announcement regarding MS Dhoni‘s future. This can be the final game for Dhoni in Chennai if he decides to retire from IPL after this season and CSK fail to reach the final that will be played in Chennai.

It is a very significant match for  both sides as a win for Rajasthan Royals will book their spot in the playoffs. On the other hand, CSK will have to win the game to keep their IPL 2024 playoff dreams alive but a loss will put them in a tough position as they will need to register a huge win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their final group stage match.

Will this be MSD’s last match for the IPL
