Virat Kohli made his international debut for India under MS Dhoni.

New Delhi: Virat Kohli hinted at MS Dhoni’s retirement ahead of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s much-important IPL 2024 clash against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday. With Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad already booking their playoff spots, the RCB vs CSK clash is turning out to be knockout encounter before the final stage kicks off next week. While a win would be enough for CSK to enter the playoffs, RCB need to win by 18 runs or chase the target in 18.1 overs to go past Chennai’s net run-rate and qualify for the playoffs.

Speculations are rife that this might be Dhoni’s last season in cricket. Adding fuel to the speculations, Kohli said, “For fans to see him again in any stadium in India, obviously it’s a big thing. Me and him playing again together, maybe for the last time, you never know. That’s a special thing.”
