Dhoni Breaks Silence on Retirement Rumours
For years, IPL fans have been speculating — Is this Dhoni’s final season? With every new edition, the talk grows louder. But now, Dhoni himself has opened up in a candid chat on entrepreneur Raj Shamani’s podcast.
“I am still playing the IPL and it is one year at a time for me. I am 43 now and by the end of this IPL season, I will be 44,” said Dhoni.
“So, I have 10 months to decide whether I want to play one more year, and it’s not me who decides. It’s my body that decides.”
Dhoni made it clear — he’s not setting any deadlines. Instead, he’ll listen to his body and then make the call.
Mixed Form But Unshaken Fan Love
- In IPL 2025 so far, Dhoni has scored only 76 runs in four matches, playing lower down the order.
- In a key match against Delhi Capitals, CSK was struggling at 74/5 chasing 184. Dhoni stayed unbeaten at 30 off 26 balls but couldn’t lead his team to victory.
- Surprisingly, in an earlier game, Dhoni was sent in at number 9, with even Ravichandran Ashwin promoted above him in the batting lineup.
Yet, the love for Dhoni remains untouchable. Stadiums still erupt with “Thala” chants, especially in Chennai, where he is more than just a cricketer — he’s an emotion.
Dhoni’s Legacy Is Set in Stone
The former CSK captain led his team to five IPL titles, and whether he plays another season or not, his place in cricketing history is forever secure.
“It is not about being happy or unhappy. Whatever has happened, has happened. It cannot be changed. You can’t add one run or take one run away from what I’ve done.”
Dhoni’s words reflect peace with his journey. But he still dreams — not for himself, but for Indian cricket.
The Dream Team Dhoni Wants to See
In a heartwarming moment, Dhoni imagined what it would be like if Indian legends could reunite in one team again — at their peak.
Here’s the dream team he talked about:
- Opening: Virender Sehwag
- Top Order: Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly
- Middle Order: Yuvraj Singh
- And of course, Dhoni himself in the mix
“Imagine everyone at their prime. There can’t be anyone better than them.”
He also recalled unforgettable moments like Yuvraj Singh’s six sixes, describing them as unforgettable gifts to Indian fans.
MS Dhoni clear air on IPL retirement — not with a definite yes or no, but with honesty. His future depends on fitness, not pressure. As fans, we may want answers, but Dhoni wants time — and he’s earned it.
Whether he plays in IPL 2026 or not, one thing is certain — no one can ever fill the void he leaves.
