As the schedule for the second leg of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is out, the anticipation and excitement among cricket enthusiasts is at an all-time high.

Adding his voice to the chorus of predictions is none other than former New Zealand cricketer and IPL veteran, Scott Styris.

Despite the tournament being in its nascent stage, Styris has confidently singled out the Chennai Super Kings as the team most likely to secure a spot in the finals and clinch the coveted trophy. For Styris, this prediction holds sentimental value as it could potentially mark a fairy tale ending for the legendary MS Dhoni, who might consider retirement after this season.

“I think with CSK, it’ll be the same again. They’ve got every chance to be there in the final. Potentially, let’s not say ‘definitely’ that MSD could go out as a winner,” stated Styris on JioCinema

The words from the former Kiwi all-rounder echo the sentiment shared by many fans, who would love to see Dhoni bid adieu to the IPL with yet another title under his belt.

IPL 2024 Final to be held in Chennai

Adding to the intrigue is the fact that Chennai has been selected to host the final match of IPL 2024 on May 26. Should the Chennai Super Kings secure a spot in the finals, the home crowd and the team itself are in for a treat. The electric atmosphere of the MA Chidambaram Stadium combined with the potential for a fairy tale farewell to Dhoni makes this prospect all the more enticing.

As cricket enthusiasts eagerly await the unfolding drama of IPL 2024, Styris’ prediction adds an extra layer of excitement to the proceedings. Whether the Chennai Super Kings will fulfill his prophecy and provide a fitting farewell to their beloved captain remains to be seen.
