As Dinesh Karthik Ends IPL Career, Fans Call Out MS Dhonis Retirement Drama
While Karthik may have played his last and has announced it via his body language, fans compared his act with that Chennai Super Kings’ MS Dhoni. After CSK crashed out of IPL 2024, Dhoni did not wait too long to shake hands with the RCB players and went back to the dressing room without giving commenting anything on his retirement.
Some fans on X felt that Karthik did ‘no drama’ like Dhoni and liked Karthik’s way to announce the retirement. There were many who trolled Dhoni for playing with the fans’ emotions and keeping his retirement decision a huge secret.
Taking to X, one fan wrote, “No old age drama, never did retirement drama for attention, never hiding behind others in tough situations.”
“Streets will never forget you Thala Dinesh Karthik thank you for everything and happy retirement from IPL”, the fan added.

Not to forget, even Dhoni had a farewell sort of event at Chepauk when CSK played their last match at the venue, some days back. Dhoni took a lap of honour and met his fans, distributed CSK goods to them as well. Chennai fans had been earlier asked to remain seated even after the game as the franchise had planned this event in advance. However, Dhoni has still not officially said anything on retirement.
