Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni is going to be the last person to leave the team's bio-bubble. Dhoni informed his teammates that he will wait for the foreigners to leave first and then the Indian players before heading back home from Delhi.

In a virtual interaction, Dhoni said that since the tournament is happening in India, the foreign players and support staff should travel first to reach their homes.

"Mahibhai said that he will be the last person to leave the hotel. He wanted foreigners to leave first, then the Indian players. He will be taking the last flight tomorrow when everyone reaches their home safe and secure,” a member of CSK told The Indian Express.

Super Kings organized a charter plane for their players from Delhi. The ten-seater flight carried CSK players to Rajkot and Mumbai in the morning while the evening charter plane dropped players from Bangalore and Chennai. 

CSK skipper Dhoni is scheduled to fly on Thursday (May 6) evening to his home in Ranchi.

Talking about the performance of Super Kings, they were doing better than the previous season. The Dhoni-led side were at number 2 in the points table with 10 points in 7 matches before the tournament was postponed.
