Will IPL be seen in 2026 or not? Dhoni gave a round -the -hand reply, once again increased the restlessness of fans
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has once again suspended his future after the last match of IPL 2025. Neither announced retirement, nor assured to return. Mahi said that he has time to take a decision, but he did not give any direct reply to whether he will appear again on the field in IPL 2026. His rounded statement has increased the restlessness of the fans.
Chennai Super Kings may have been very bad for IPL 2025 season, but the team definitely found a little relaxed by defeating Table Toppers Gujarat Titans by 83 runs in the last match. The match was played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
When he was asked questions about his future in the presentation after the match, he replied in Dhoni style. Said, “It is 4-5 months, there is no hurry. The body has to be kept fit. If the players start retiring only on the basis of performance, then leave some at the age of 22. At the moment, I will go to Ranchi, I will ride some bikes. Then I will think what to do.”
This season of Dhoni was nothing special according to his name. In 14 matches, he scored just 196 runs, the average was 24.50 and the strike rate of 135.17. The biggest score was 30 not out. The team’s condition was similar to the Chennai Super Kings Points at the bottom of the table, with just 4 wins.
Regarding the season, Dhoni said, “Initially four of our matches were in Chennai. We decided to chase the toss, but I felt that the batting would have been better first. There was a little tension in the batting. There were a little tension, but there were some gaps that were available. Ruturaj would not have to think too much.”
Dhoni also shared a funny anecdote about his age. Said, “I sit at the back in the bus and Andre Siddharth sits next to me, who is 25 years younger than me. Seeing that yes, now I am old.”
Dhoni looked happy with a stunning victory against Gujarat. He said, “The season did not go well, but today’s performance was perfect. Fielding was especially good. The stadium was not houseful, but was good.”
