With a subliminal suggestion about his involvement in the T20 competition, the great MS Dhoni almost assured everyone that he would continue to play cricket in the Indian Premier competition (IPL). When asked for their response, Kasi Viswanathan, the CEO of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), added that they were pleased to see Dhoni prepared for another IPL season. In order to finalize the retention list before to the 2025 IPL season, Dhoni will then phone team owner N Srinivasan.
However, it has also been stated that all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who left T20 internationals following India’s T20 World Cup victory this year, is CSK’s top retention pick rather than captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.
“What else do we want to do when he’s ready? “We are pleased,” Kasi Viswanathan, the franchise’s CEO, told Cricbuzz on Saturday.
Dhoni had stated at a function that he wanted to relish the remaining years of cricket in his life.
Dhoni was cited as saying, “I just want to enjoy whatever last few years of cricket I am able to play,” It is hard to enjoy cricket as a game when you play it as a professional sport. I’m interested in doing that. It’s not simple.
“The commitments are there, and the feelings never stop flowing. For the upcoming years, I hope to continue enjoying the game. In order to play in the IPL for two and a half months, I must maintain my fitness for nine months. You must plan things out, but you should also take it easy.”
In terms of CSK’s retention list, pacer Matheesha Pathirana has consented to be the third choice retention, while captain Ruturaj Gaikwad comes in second after Ravindra Jadeja. Samir Rizvi and Devon Conway, two players from Shivam Dube, are probably going to be kept by the team as well.
