Despite not officially announcing his retirement, there were signs that we might not see Dinesh Karthik in IPL action next season. After Rovman Powell hit the match-winning runs for RR, the veteran wicketkeeper-batter received an emotional embrace from Virat Kohli, and also took off his gloves to acknowledge the spectators present in the stadium in Chennai.
Karthik’s post-match actions also served as an onus for critics of MS Dhoni, who took to social media to troll the CSK star. Taking to X, many fans expressed respect towards Karthik’s style of retirement, and compared it to constant rumours of Dhoni also calling it quits.
For the past few seasons, the India legend has been rumoured to announce his retirement, but it hasn’t happened yet, adding more spice to the drama. In CSK’s final home game this season, there was a lap of honour for Dhoni and his teammates, with many feeling that this could be his final-ever match at the Chepauk.
