However, Dhoni’s childhood friend Paramjit Singh provided a huge update regarding his playing career. Dhoni was seen sporting Paramjit’s sports shop Prime Sports logo on his bat during practice as he wanted to spread the word about his friend’s shop this IPL season.

"I do not think this will be his (Dhoni's) last season. He is still fit. I think he will play one or two more seasons. He will definitely play one more season. The reason is he is fit," he told OneCricket.

During a recent interaction, Paramjit shed light on Dhoni's gesture for him. He also revealed that the veteran wicketkeeper-batter also gave him a signed bat.
