The topic of IPL 2026 is much discussed because mini auction is going to be held on 16th December. This time many great players can be seen in the auction, because great players like Andre Russell to Glenn Maxwell have been released. Everyone will be keeping an eye on the players who have been released in the auction, but there are also some retained cricketers who can be seen playing for the last time in IPL 2026. See here the list of players who can retire after IPL 2026.

1. MS Dhoni

The first name in the list is that of MS Dhoni. Whenever the new season of IPL is about to come, the news of Dhoni’s retirement starts gaining momentum. But every time Dhoni puts an end to the rumors of retirement. Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Vishwanath has confirmed that Dhoni will play in IPL 2026. Dhoni’s knee problem is not hidden from anyone, while Sanju Samson is being seen as his successor. Samson has now come to CSK from Rajasthan Royals.

2. Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma has been retained by Gujarat Titans for IPL 2026. His form has not been very good in the last few seasons. In IPL 2025, he took only 4 wickets in 7 matches and the economy rate was 11.80. Last season he also became a victim of fitness related problems. If Ishant retires from the Indian Premier League after 2026, it will not be a surprising decision.

3. Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane was the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders last season, but under him the KKR team stood eighth in the points table. Now, to keep the captaincy option open, KKR has retained him for IPL 2026 also. Rahane was not finding any buyer in the mega auction, but KKR had played a gamble and bid on him. Rahane scored 390 runs in 12 matches in IPL 2025 and his strike rate was also around 148. But the problem is that apart from KKR, no other team is showing interest in Rahane.

MS Dhoni is playing for Chennai Super Kings from the first season (when CSK was banned leaving 2 seasons in between). CSK has won 5 titles under his captaincy. Virat Kohli is also playing for RCB from the first season, his team won its first IPL title in 2025.

The last IPL season of Chennai Super Kings was very bad. First Rituraj Gaikwad and then MS Dhoni took charge of the team but nothing has changed, the CSK points remained at the bottom of the table. Out of 14 league matches, only 4 won, defeat in 10. In his latest statement, MS Dhoni admitted that there were some flaws in his team, which CSK recognized. He said that his team will try to remove those flaws in the auction for the upcoming version. He also talked about his fitness.

MS Dhoni spoke about the IPL at the inauguration of Maxiwision Super Specialty Eye Hospitals. Sportstar told in his report what he said. Dhoni said, “There were some deficiencies, which we had to overcome. We were worried about our batting order, but now I think CSK’s batting order is very organized.

I can play cricket for 5 years but MS Dhoni

For the last 4-5 seasons, there was speculation about MS Dhoni’s retirement from IPL. But Mahi, who has retired from international cricket in 2020, is still very fit and is playing in the tournament. Talking about his fitness, he said that he can play more cricket for the next 5 years.

In this report, Dhoni was quoted as saying, “I have just got a tick mark that I can play cricket for the next 5 years. But the problem is that I have only permission for eyesight. I want permission for my body as well. I can’t play cricket only with eyes.”

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.”

Ms dhoni ipl 2025: Whenever the new season of the Indian Premier League starts or ends, then the speculation of MS Dhoni’s retirement starts gaining momentum. Dhoni, 43, is now going to play his last match, who has scored 196 runs in 13 matches in IPL 2025 so far. Dhoni’s team, Chennai Super Kings have already been out of the playoff race and now they will play their last match tomorrow. Let us know that on Sunday, CSK is going to face Gujarat Titans.

MS Dhoni will play the last match?

Tomorrow i.e. on May 25, MS Dhoni is going to play his last match in the IPL, but this will be his last match as a captain. Dhoni has already given up the captaincy of CSK, but due to the injury of regular captain of the team, Rituraj Gaikwad, Dhoni had to take responsibility for the captaincy again. Since the next season is possible, Gaikwad will return as captain, so tomorrow MS Dhoni can play his last match as captain in IPL against Gujarat Titans.

Last match on Ahmedabad ground

Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This will also be the last match of Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni in IPL 2025. Now, if we talk about the real question ie Dhoni’s IPL retirement, then ‘Thala’ has given a big hint that he can also play in IPL 2026. However, he has not officially confirmed this.

Looking at MS Dhoni’s entire IPL career, he has scored 5,439 runs in the IPL career of 277 matches so far. In this historic career, he has played 24 half -century innings. It is also an amazing fact that Dhoni has been able to put only one fifty in his last 87 IPL matches.

Ms dhoni ipl retirement: Mahendra Singh Dhoni is also one of the greatest players and captains of IPL. He has won the Indian Premier League title to Chennai Super Kings five times. In IPL 2024, Dhoni was broken by his stormy strike rate on the opposing bowlers. He scored 161 runs playing at a strike rate of last season 220. But only two matches of IPL 2025 have made MS Dhoni a villain from hero.

MS Dhoni became Villain

MS Dhoni has scored 76 runs in four matches so far in IPL 2025. He has batting in all four matches of CSK in the tournament and has been continuously failing to finish the match for his team. Especially two matches of IPL 2025 have made him the biggest villain. The first match was against RCB, in which Dhoni scored 30 runs in 16 balls. The Chennai team had to chase a big goal, so Dhoni came to bat on the ninth order. Dhoni and CSK were also trolled because Ravichandran Ashwin was sent to bat above them. As a result, CSK lost by 50 runs in that match.

In the match against Delhi Capitals, Dhoni had to be trolled due to a very slow innings. Dhoni came to bat in the 11th over in the match against Delhi, Vijay Shankar was set at the crease at the other end. On one hand, Shankar scored 69 runs playing at a strike rate of only 128. At the same time, Dhoni scored 30 runs with a slow strike of 115. The target of 184 runs in front was, yet Dhoni’s fast batting became a big reason for CSK’s defeat.

Dhoni’s retirement pressure

Dhoni is considered one of the best finishers in the world. Till now he has batting in all four matches in IPL 2025, but despite being the best finisher in the world, he has failed to win CSK. The ghost of retirement has fallen behind ‘Tala’, batting at a lower order and batting at a slow strike rate.

Ms dhoni ipl: MS Dhoni, who has made Chennai Super Kings a 5 -time champion under his captaincy, is under question about his poor form. In the match held on Saturday, when Dhoni came to bat against Delhi Capitals, 110 runs were needed in 56 balls to win. Fans hoped that Dhoni would finish the match today. His parents also came to the stadium to watch this match. But Dhoni could not win. Vijay Shankar scored an unbeaten 69 and Dhoni scored just 30 runs by playing 26 balls.

MS Dhoni’s slow innings became one of the main reasons for defeat somewhere. Batting cannot be considered correct at a strike rate of 115 in the final overs. Various reactions are coming on social media, but Manoj Tiwari, who has played with Dhoni, has advised Dhoni in harsh words that he should have retired from IPL only after 2023.

MS Dhoni should have retired only after 2023

Manoj Tiwari, who has shared the dressing room with Dhoni, spoke on the cricbing and said, “If I get rigid, the fans should not get angry. According to me, the right time of retirement for him (MS Dhoni) was 2023 when his team won the title. After that he should take retirement. I felt that he felt that he could not see the name and honor from cricket, Somewhere they are getting lost in the fans, after the last match, the way the fans of Chennai were coming to the road, they should understand that it is not possible now. “

If you are not able to leave then it should be left

He added, “He is trying but, coach Flaming is also saying that he cannot run more than 10 overs but I do not understand if you can field for 20 overs, keep up, where you have to sit, you have to dive, then you do not feel in your knees. But when you are sent to bat, where people are sent to bat, then you should take 10 overs. And if it is not happening now, leave it. “
