Despite the tournament being in its nascent stage, Styris has confidently singled out the Chennai Super Kings as the team most likely to secure a spot in the finals and clinch the coveted trophy. For Styris, this prediction holds sentimental value as it could potentially mark a fairy tale ending for the legendary MS Dhoni, who might consider retirement after this season.
“I think with CSK, it’ll be the same again. They’ve got every chance to be there in the final. Potentially, let’s not say ‘definitely’ that MSD could go out as a winner,” stated Styris on JioCinema
The words from the former Kiwi all-rounder echo the sentiment shared by many fans, who would love to see Dhoni bid adieu to the IPL with yet another title under his belt.
