MS Dhoni's retirement news started trending when some players collected signed jersery from him. "Good to see you’ve got some jerseys left, everyone has been sneaking some jerseys from you," presenter Harsha Bhogle told Dhoni after Chennai’s 9 wicket win over Punjab. "Maybe they thought I am retiring, you know. I retired from international cricket, so they might be thinking I am retiring from IPL as well," Dhoni said.

"Definitely not, right?" was Bhogle’s next question. "Definitely not," Dhoni asserted.
