On one hand, all the 10 IPL teams are brainstorming on the issue of mega auction before IPL 2025, on the other hand, Chennai Super Kings veteran player Mahendra Singh Dhoni has said a big thing on the question of his retirement in this tournament. Dhoni was asked a question in a program in Hyderabad whether he would play in IPL 2025, to which he clearly said that all this is not in his hands. Dhoni said that the decision will be taken only after looking at the retention rules of IPL 2025, at present this decision is not in his hands.
Dhoni said, 'We have to wait for the decision on player retention, right now the ball is not in our court. Once the rules and regulations are made then I will take a decision. The decision will be taken keeping in mind the interest of the team.' MS Dhoni is 43 years old and he has performed brilliantly last season. Although his fitness is not the same as before but this player has kept wickets for the entire season, so it cannot be said that Dhoni is no longer capable.
There was a report that if BCCI makes a rule to retain only four players, then it will be difficult for Dhoni to play in the next season. According to the report, if BCCI makes a rule to retain five to six players before the next season, only then will the Chennai team retain Dhoni. It is being told that if four players have to be retained, then captain Rituraj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Mathisha Pathirana and Shivam Dubey can be retained. Now everyone's eyes are on the decision of the IPL Governing Council.
In terms of performance, it is not right for Dhoni to retire now. This player contributed a lot to the team as a finisher last season. He was able to score 161 runs in 8 innings at an average of more than 53. His strike rate was more than 220.
