Dhoni was asked whether this is his final season by commentator Danny Morrison ahead of their match against Lucknow Super Giants, but the Chennai Super Kings skipper cleverly sidestepped the question by saying that it is something that the experts are saying and not him.

Maybe he just wanted to get that answer out of Dhoni, that it was indeed his last season. Whether it's his last year or not, only MS Dhoni knows,” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.

The game began after a 15-minute delay due to a wet outfield and rain returned in the final over of the first innings to halt the proceedings, this time for the entire
