In what we can call one of the most astonishing comebacks in IPL history, RCB won their sixth consecutive match to seal their place in the playoffs. Chasing 219, CSK needs just 201 runs to qualify for the playoffs. However, RCB does the unthinkable and defeats CSK by 27 runs. The celebrations in the M Chhinaswamy Stadium were louder than ever. Who would have thought this three weeks before when RCB won just 1 match in their first 8 matches? However, the reaction of MS Dhoni raised eyebrows. He was seen walking back to the dressing room without shaking hands with the RCB players. Probably this was MS Dhoni’s last match of the IPL. His gesture caught everyone’s attention and many cricket pundits, experts, fans, and analysts are talking about his arrogant behavior.
MS Dhoni Left Without Shaking Hands With RCB Players
After yesterday’s game #Dhoni was not even ready to shake hands with RCB players. was fan of him but this is really not a cool behaviour for such a star and senior cricketer.

It was MS Dhoni’s last match. He did not come on the field to shake hands and went straight to the dressing room, Virat Kohli even searched for him and when he couldn’t find him he also went to the dressing room.

The emotions were high for the RCB team. They could not believe that they qualified for the playoffs. RCB players were celebrating the win because it was one of the most astonishing comebacks ever in IPL history. MS Dhoni walked up from the boundary ropes where CSK players were standing in a queue to shake hands with RCB players. But MS Dhoni decided to walk back instead after seeing RCB players celebrating the win. He shook hands with RCB management and staff while returning.

MS Dhoni is 42. CSK franchise requested fans to stay in the ground after their last home match in Chennai. It speculates that MS Dhoni might have played his last IPL match yesterday as CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs. Has MS Dhoni taken retirement from IPL? Only time will tell.
