Former India star quashes speculations about MS Dhoni’s retirement after IPL 2024

Rumours about MS Dhoni’s retirement from Indian Premier League (IPL) have been intensifying on each passing day. Several fans are speculating that the veteran batsman could possibly be appearing in his final Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

However, former India batter and CSK cricketer Robin Uthappa quashed all the speculations about Dhoni’s retirement after IPL 2024.

“Coming to CSK, is this MS’s last run? I don’t think so, personally, I don’t think so. But, do they want to spoil RCB’s party? Definitely. Ruturaj, I think, would want to get to the knock-out stage in his first season as captain. That will be a huge confidence booster for him and for CSK. It’s one for the long run. Let’s see where that goes,” said Uthappa during an interaction.

Notably, Dhoni has garnered a total of 161 runs from 10 innings in IPL 2024 so far. His strike rate of 226.66 proves the importance of his short cameos this season.

CSK are currently on the fourth spot in the points table with 14 points in 13 matches, with seven wins and six defeats in IPL 2024 so far. It will be a do-or-die contest as the playoff berth is at stake.
