Meanwhile, Dhoni successfully underwent left knee surgery in a Mumbai hospital on Thursday, raising hopes of playing in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League next year. The cricketer, who led Chennai Super Kings to their fifth IPL title, had flown to Mumbai from Ahmedabad after the final on Monday.
He consulted renowned sports orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, who is also on the BCCI medical panel and had performed surgeries on a number of top Indian cricketers.
"Yes, Dhoni had a successful knee surgery at the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai on Thursday. He is doing fine and the surgery happened in the morning," CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan confirmed to PTI.
"He will be discharged in a day or two. He would be resting for a few days before his extensive rehabilitation started. It is now expected that he would have enough time to get fit to play in the next IPL," another source close to CSK management told PTI.
Speaking during the post-match presentation ceremony after his fifth IPL win, MS Dhoni announced that he will not retire from the Indian Premier League. The CSK skipper said that announcing his retirement will be the "easy thing" but he wants to train for the next nine months and try to play in the next season as a "gift" for his fans.
