On Thursday, former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni underwent successful left knee surgery at a Mumbai hospital. After the final on Monday, Dhoni, who led the Chennai Super Kings to their fifth IPL title, flew from Ahmedabad to Mumbai to consult with renowned sports orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala. Pardiwala is on the BCCI medical panel and has operated on a number of top Indian cricketers, including Rishabh Pant.
"Yes, Dhoni underwent a successful knee operation on Thursday at the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai. He is doing well and will be released in a few days. Before beginning his extensive rehabilitation, he would rest for a few days. A source close to CSK management told PTI under oath that it was now anticipated that he would have sufficient time to become fit to play in the upcoming Indian Premier League.
Dhoni had been wearing heavy strapping on his left knee the entire season, and despite the fact that he looked absolutely fine while he was keeping wickets, he came into bat at number eight on occasion and didn't search in his component while running between the wickets.
CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said on Wednesday that the iconic captain will decide for himself whether Dhoni wants surgery.
Dhoni had stated, "After the IPL final, it is obvious that now is the ideal time to announce your retirement. I can simply say "thank you" and step away. However, the difficult thing is working hard for nine months and attempting to play one more IPL season. The body must support itself. However, with the amount of affection shown by CSK supporters, it would be a gift for them to play one more season.
"The manner in which they've shown their affection and feelings, it's something I really want to accomplish for them. This is the final phase of my career. It began once again here and full house was reciting my name. It was the same in Chennai, but it will be beneficial to return and play as much as I can. They believe they can play the kind of cricket I play. It's not traditional, and I like to keep it simple."
