“If IPL takes place in UAE next year again, which re are whispers it will happen, MS Dhoni will have to play ar year. He cant finish his IPL career in front of crowd. He has to play at least one game following year. He cant go out in front of crowds. If re is one player who deserves a big crowd to say goodbye to – if he probably cant play, he would just disappear and say goodbye without us kwing about it – like he did in international cricket. But I want to see a grand crowd for his last game,” Vaughan said.
