Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has discussed the future of MS Dhoni in the league in the IPL 2025. With the team at the bottom of the table, former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar has suggested that Dhoni, now 43, should consider retiring to facilitate CSK infection. Bangar emphasized the importance of the physical challenges of competitive cricket and the importance of allowing the franchise independently at Dhoni’s age. Despite Dhoni’s mythological position and previous successes, the current form of CSK indicates the need for change.
The CSK’s 2025 campaign has been the most challenging so far, for the first time he has been abolished by the playoff controversy in a consecutive season. The team managed only three wins in 13 matches, putting them at the bottom of the standing. Injuries, incompatible demonstrations and strategic misunderstandings have plagued the squad, which has equally criticized fans and analysts.
Bangar’s comments indicate a growing spirit that CSK is the time of reconstruction without relying on his experienced captain.
“At the age of 43, it is very difficult to play in that competitive environment. Leave this competitive atmosphere to one side, but even though you go and play some local cricket, you will find how difficult it is on the body. It all boils down for MS, but if I was an MS, I would say that it is enough. Whatever you want to play, you see whatever you want to play, if you see it, then it is, if you see it, it is a few It is not an ideal time.
Dhoni, who has taken over in the middle of the captaincy after Ruturaj Gikwad’s injury, has faced an investigation for his on-field decisions and batting status. His choice of reducing the order even at number 9 in some matches surprised many people, including former team partner Harbhajan Singh, who questioned the argument behind such decisions. Despite the respectable strike rate of 140 and an average of 76, Dhoni’s contribution has not translated into victory for CSK.
As CSK prepares for his final match of the season against Gujarat Titans, Dhoni remains a spotlight. Whether he decides to retire or returns to any other season, the decision will have significant implications for the future of the franchise. For now, fans and analysts equally waited for Dhoni’s decision, who are expecting clarity on the ahead of both the legendary cricketer and Chennai Super Kings.
