"This is something that will stay and I would like to say thank you to the full family and I think it's a great gesture", Dhoni said in his video message.
With this victory of the Rajasthan Royals, the Chennai Super Kings have lost their final chance of entering the playoffs this season and they are officially out of the tournament now.
They took these lines to their own lives as the fans revealed what's Dhoni for them, he is more than a player, he is someone close to their heart, which won't spare the trollers.
"In cricket when you are going through a tough phase, you need a bit of luck to go your way. But in this tournament, it hasn't really gone our way", he added.
It had lost eight matches, not because of the highest chases but because of the team's less tendency towards fixing the damages and flawed performances.
While Mumbai Indians has been at a safe place that it won't heavily bother if it gets defeated by Dhoni's army, CSK stands opposite that a defeat could cost an entire season.
CSK had lost seven matches, more than any other teams in the IPL 2020 and with the back to back defeats, Dhoni's men in yellow have been proving its flawed performances and failing to build a winning momentum.
