CSK Official’s Big Statement on MS Dhoni’s Retirement: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs were abandoned by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday following their league final match loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Due to the reality that CSK’s Net Run Rate was a bit lower than RCB’s, the Faf du Plessis-led club prevailed despite both sides having 14 points apiece.

In addition to being disappointed by their team’s elimination, CSK supporters were also heartbroken by the possibility that MS Dhoni was done for good. Nevertheless, Dhoni hasn’t yet informed the team about his possible retirement, according to a CSK official.
A top CSK official discussed in a conversation with the Times of India how Dhoni’s 110-meter six in the match’s last over was largely responsible for his team’s loss to the RCB. Dhoni was unable to deliver on his pledge to raise the IPL trophy at Chepauk throughout this procedure.

“The ball was lost and had to be replaced. Dayal got a drier ball and suddenly hitting became difficult,” a senior CSK official said.
The report further states that Dhoni, who was saddened by the outcome against RCB, left the CSK camp on Sunday and was the first to return to Ranchi.
Regarding the crucial decision regarding Dhoni’s future, an insider informed the newspaper that Thala hasn’t shared his intentions with anybody in the team. He advised the management that the decision would not be taken until after a few months.

“Dhoni has not told anybody in CSK that he is quitting. He has told the management that he will wait for a couple of months before taking a final call,” the report quoted a source as saying. “He did not feel any discomfort in his running between the wickets, and that is a plus.”
The ‘Impact Player’ rule, which has received much criticism from a few active cricketers, is also likely to play a role in Dhoni’s retirement call. If the rule is persisted with, Dhoni might continue as it gives him the freedom to fulfil a specific job with the team. If the rule is abolished, the veteran wicket-keeper batter’s return might be difficult.
“We will wait for Dhoni’s communication. He always has the best interests of the team in mind, let’s see what happens,” the CSK official concluded.

“I am standing at a point where when I look back, I only see memories and a new life when I look forward. It was always my dream to play for India, and I got to live it. I am thankful to a lot of people for that. First of all, my family, my childhood coaches and then my team that I played with for so many years. I got a new family, fame and love. But it is said that to move forward, you need to flip the pages,” Dhawan said in a post on ‘X’.
“I am announcing my retirement from international and domestic cricket. As I bid farewell to my cricketing journey, I have peace in my heart. I played a lot for my country. I only say this to myself, that you don’t need to be upset about not playing for your country again, but be happy that you had the opportunity to do so,” he concluded.
