Veteran wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni is undoubtedly one of the greatest IPL captains and players of all time. With 5 IPL trophies under his name, MS Dhoni has led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for 16 long years before passing the reins to young Ruturaj Gaikwad.

MS Dhoni was in sublime form in the IPL 2024

However, he has announced his retirement from International cricket already but continued playing in IPL. But, over the past few IPL seasons, many have been predicting MS Dhoni’s retirement from the cricketing league. Meanwhile, the World Cup-winning captain works on his fitness and form and left everyone surprised with his form. Many believe that IPL 2024 will be the last for him and everyone expected an official announcement as well.

When everyone was watching the post-match ceremony waiting for an update on MS Dhoni, he left the ground without shaking hands with the RCB players and was spotted in Ranchi the next morning as well. Now, a report by the Times of India suggested that the legendary IPL player is not retiring soon as well.

CSK has a mixed season this year

A source has revealed that MS Dhoni has not told anybody in CSK management about his retirement. The source also shared that MS Dhoni has told the management that he will wait for a couple of months before taking the final call. To recall, MS Dhoni promised to play his last IPL game at Chepauk and his current form is giving hope to everyone that he will play another season.

The report also suggested that MS Dhoni may also wait to see BCCI’s stance on the impact of sub-rule in the league. The rule will also allow Dhoni to play as an extra batter in the last two overs where he won’t be required to run around the field too much. If the impact sub rule is not there, it will be difficult for him to have a spot in the team to play just a few balls in the final few overs.

However, CSK has a mixed season this year where they lost to RCB and failed to seal a place in the playoff as well.
