MS Dhoni is a player who creates gigantic waves with even the minute of actions. A man with a billion fans across the length and breadth of the country is always at the centre of news pieces.

Although Dhoni is a reserved person, the IPL windows exposes him to the world. As the former India captain is in the twilight of his career and probably beyond that, the retirement speculations often escalate out of nowhere.

MS Dhoni Parents at Chepauk Stadium - A Sign of Retirement?

In the ongoing CSK vs DC match at the Chepauk Stadium on Saturday (April 5), Dhoni's retirement speculation have grown in leaps and bounds as his parents were seen present at the stadium. The veteran's mother and father were seen watching the match, and that raised questions if MS Dhoni is calling quits after the match, midway in the season.

The former CSK captain recently confirmed that he is not ready to hang his boots now and has looked agile behind the stumps and decent with the bat as well. Amid this, Dhoni's parents, who don't often come to watch a match, came to the ground.

Over the years, MS Dhoni has kept his family life mostly private. His parents have rarely been seen in stadiums, especially during IPL games. So when the camera panned at them, it felt significant.

Social media erupted almost instantly. Fans began speculating: Was this Dhoni's last season? Could this match even be his farewell at Chepauk? Messages flooded timelines - from hopeful sentiments like "Retirement? Definitely not!"

Fact Check: MS Dhoni is Not Retiring

MyKhel can confirm and rest the rumours that MS Dhoni is not retiring today. A source close to the India legend said MyKhel that it is just a routine visit from his parents in Chennai and that's the reason they were attending the match. A CSK source also told MyKhel that 'There's no Such Information', which may further support the conclusion that MS Dhoni is not thinking of retirement.

Dhoni has been optimistic about a couple of more seasons at the CSK helm and it is likely to continue for him beyond tonight.
