Earlier during an event MS Dhoni had hinted when he will retire from IPL.
MS Dhoni retired from international cricket on 15 August 2020
The former captain of Team India MS Dhoni retired from international cricket on the evening of August 15 in the year 2020. However, he played his last match in the year 2019 in the ODI World Cup. After this, it was believed that Dhoni would make a comeback to international cricket, but crores of cricket fans were heartbroken that day when it was revealed that MS Dhoni would no longer play for Team India.
However, Dhoni continued to play for his team CSK in the IPL. IPL has not been played in India since he retired. During an event, MS Dhoni also said that he wants to play his last match at the Chennai stadium. But the special thing is that Dhoni has not played any match in Chennai since then. This time the BCCI is planning that the IPL 2023 will be hosted entirely in India and will be on the old format, meaning each team will play matches at home and away from foreign teams. It means that IPL will be of all India type. IPL matches will also be played in Chennai.
He left the captaincy before IPL 2022 and got this responsibility after that
MS Dhoni also quit the captaincy of CSK before IPL 2022, after which Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the new captain, but CSK’s performance under Jadeja’s captaincy was not special and neither Ravindra Jadeja himself. Meets, for which they are known and recognized. Midway through the IPL, Ravindra Jadeja stepped down from the captaincy and the reins once again fell into the hands of MS Dhoni. Even after this, the team could not qualify for the playoffs.
A report has surfaced, speculating that after next year’s IPL, MS Dhoni may announce his retirement from this league as well. It was believed that as soon as MS Dhoni came into his team, he wanted to prepare a player who could lead the team in the future, but unfortunately it did not happen and all the responsibility fell on Dhoni’s shoulders. It is being said that something similar will be tried in IPL this time too. A player will be prepared for the future.
MS Dhoni may get important responsibility in BCCI
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is now more than 41 years old. That means they can continue playing cricket for some time now. But it is almost certain that MS Dhoni may not play, but joins CSK one way or the other. The report is also saying that MS Dhoni may be given some important responsibility in the BCCI. That means they can join Team India.
The Indian team last won the ICC trophy under the captaincy of MS Dhoni in 2013, but after Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, the ICC title has been dry. This is also a matter of concern. Now that the BCCI’s focus is on the ODI World Cup in India next year and the T20 World Cup in 2024, there may be some big and shocking changes. In which MS Dhoni can also be involved. Although the whole world also knows what MS Dhoni will do and what decision he will take, but no one knows this. Whether he retires from the IPL now or wants to play for a few more years is his own decision. A lot will also depend on how the CSK team performs in IPL 2023.
