BCCI Has the "Only Condition" That CSK Sets for MS Dhoni to Continue Playing
There have been several months passed since the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League concluded, but still there is no confirmation about the future of Mahendra Singh Dhoni with the Chennai Super Kings. Ahead of the start of the season 2024, he stepped down as the captain of the franchise this year, paving the way for Ruturaj Gaikwad to lead the team.
Though CSK didn’t qualify for the playoffs, there were
plenty of positives to take from the leadership of Ruturaj. But does that mean
it’s all over for Dhoni as a player because, according to the reports, the Thala’s
continuity in the league solely depends on the retention decision the IPL
management and the BCCI take.
There isn’t much clarity around the number of players the
BCCI will allow the franchises to retain with a mega auction scheduled to be
held before the start of the IPL 2025 season. According to a report, the
continuity of Dhoni in the league as a player is only possible if the BCCI
allows the retention of 5 to 6 players in each franchise.
At present, the players who are most likely to be retained by CSK include skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Matheesha Pathirana, and Shivam Dube, though the order of retention could be wary.
