When Morrison announced that Dhoni is set to play the next years IPL as well, the cricket legend remained tight-lipped but with a smile on his face.
Fans speculated about Dhonis retirement from IPL after he mentioned that he was playing the last phase of his career.
Even when the entire Eden Gardens turned yellow in support of Dhoni snubbing home team Kolkata Knight Riders, Dhoni had thanked his fans for giving him a farewell triggering speculation of his retirement.
Meanwhile, the Chennai-Lucknow match was washed out due to rains on Wednesday.
Both the teams were awarded one point each.
