"Circumstantially, this is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love I have received all over, the easy thing would be to walk away from here, but the harder thing would be to work hard for nine months and try to play another IPL," Dhoni said after the final. Dhoni has been the cynosure of all eyes ever since the Indian Premier League began this year and in a fitting end to the finale, the captain finished with a record-levelling fifth trophy. This IPL his fans from across the country went to the venues in large numbers to cheer for him, chanting his name wherever CSK have played. "It would be a gift from me, won`t be easy on the body. You do get emotional, the first game at CSK everyone was chanting my name.
