The future of MS Dhoni
Notably, Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020, leaving a lasting legacy as one of India’s most celebrated cricket captains. However, he has continued to be an active participant in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he represents and captains the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
In the IPL 2023 final against the Gujarat Titans (GT), Dhoni may not have contributed with the bat, but his leadership led CSK to their record-breaking fifth IPL title, drawing level with the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) championship record.
After the remarkable victory, Dhoni hinted that he is not yet ready to bid farewell to the IPL. During the post-match presentation, he stated, “Tough thing for me is to work hard for another nine months and come back and play at least one more season of the IPL. I have 6-7 months to decide, and I think it’s something that will be more like a gift from my side. It’s not easy for me, but that’s a gift. The way they have shown love and affection, I think that’s something I need to do for them.”
