Matthew Hayden believes that the Chennai Super Kings have something special in store for the upcoming season of the IPL as it is likely to be the last of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

“See CSK, they notoriously find a way to do things unique and special. Take their hiatus out of their IPL, it was unfortunate the two years they weren’t playing, and they came back the year after that to win the IPL, it was most unexpected. And they have a way,” Hayden, a former CSK player himself, told Star Sports.

“MS Dhoni has a way of revitalising, revamping, making it just a completely different look and feel to the side, even though it’s had this great tag of having complete trust in few players and having retained most of their players.

“So for MS Dhoni, I think this year in particular, it’s going to be a year celebrated like no other. It’s the finish I believe of the legacy of MS Dhoni and he will want to go out in style with his fans,” the former Australia opener said.

Having played for CSK from 2008-10, Hayden has fond memories of their home ground in Chennai. “It’s going to be remarkable, just the amount of supporters, the Yellow Army that is going to pile into the Chepauk Stadium.

“That venue is a fortress. And they are going to have MS Dhoni as their captain, arguably for the last time and that’s going to be one of those moments that no one is ever going to forget. He has especially stayed on in the IPL to say goodbye to his fans atChepauk and they are going to turn up like you just couldn’t imagine.”
