Ms dhoni on ipl retirement: Chennai Super Kings played their last match on Sunday in IPL 2025. Chennai defeated Gujarat and said goodbye to this season. After the match, Dhoni opened a big secret over his retirement from IPL. He also told what is his plan regarding the future.

‘I am not saying that I am retiring’

After the 83-run win against the Gujarat Titans, Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni said, “I have four-five months to take a decision, there is no hurry. I need to keep my body fit. If the cricketers start retiring on their performance, some will retire at the age of 22 years. I am not even saying that I am coming back.

43 -year -old Mahendra Singh Dhoni could not have much impact with his batting in IPL 2025. For this reason, the news of his retirement intensified. Apart from the bat, Dhoni could not qualify the team in the playoffs under his captaincy. Therefore, after the team’s last league match, questions about their future were bound to arise.

Learn why Dhoni said that I am old

Dhoni has hoped that when Ruturaj Gaikwad returns from injury next year, the session of Chennai will be good. He jokingly said that only the age of his captain shows him old. Dhoni said, “Ruturaj does not have to worry about too much about things in the next session. He will fit in one of them. He is just 15 years younger than me, this makes me feel that I am old.”

Talking about the current session of IPL, Dhoni admitted that batting disappointed him. He said, “Our session was not good. Today (against Gujarat) was one of those excellent performances. We have not done a very good ‘catching’, but today it was good. I was worried about the batting department. We can score runs on the board, but some shortcomings are yet to be cured.”
