I heard that this is last IPL of MS Dhoni but I don't think. MS Dhoni can continue to play for next three to four years. He is still very fit and batting and wicket-keeping really well. His leadership is something that is as good as his game. His fitness and mind-reading of game make him a good leader. His skills on ground are awesome. He is one of main reasons that CSK is succesful.
