MS Dhoni, the former captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), is expected to make a decision on his IPL playing career in the coming months. Dhoni, who is set to turn 43 this July, has played two full IPL seasons in a row despite battling fitness concerns.
CSK's team management is awaiting Dhoni's decision. According to a report in The Times of India, Dhoni has told the management that he will wait a couple of months before taking a final call.
There are other external factors which could impact Dhoni's decision. A mega auction has been planned ahead of the next IPL season and teams will be asked to retain a certain number of players, meaning CSK will have to take some tough choices.
Before the IPL 2022 mega auction, each team was allowed a maximum retention of four players of which at most three can be Indian or two overseas. There are reports that there's no consensus between the 10 franchises over the retention limit.
Dhoni's decision on his IPL future will be closely watched by CSK fans and cricket enthusiasts alike. The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman has been a key figure in CSK's success over the years, leading the team to four IPL titles.
