MS Dhoni has been there in the news always and this time he has again done so. The retired cricket icon was back from a trip to the United States of America, raising speculations about what he planned to do about the Indian Premier League (IPL) from now on. The fans and cricket analysts were rife with discussions and guesses over whether the star player of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), former captain, would make it to the next season or retire. This return is quite apt because the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will implement new retention rules regarding the players.
MS Dhoni’s U.S. Sojourn
Dhoni had his share of experiences while in the U.S., identifying with fans, like watching an American football game. It was indeed a much-needed break for the cricketing superstar, as intense focus on the game has been common with the man. The excitement brewing at Ranchi airport had many nervous and awaited moments. Social media was abuzz with clips of his arrival, and the debates about his future in the IPL took center stage. MS Dhoni, as always, brings with him a wave of nostalgia and curiosity among fans. His contributions to CSK and Indian cricket will forever be remembered fondly by the fans.
Speculations Over CSK
The IPL retention deadline is around the corner and all eyes are on CSK and what the franchise plans to do. For now, reports suggest that the franchise keenly wants Dhoni to be retained but nothing much is known about the specifics. There were rumors that Dhoni was likely to be retained as an uncapped player. The chatter did make a lot of noise but CSK’s CEO went about confirming them as baseless. The situation has kept many fans on tenterhooks and confused about whether the team would retain their most craved-out captain or that would be the end.
The impending mega auction that is slated to take place in the IPL will keep its fans a little more puzzled. Reports suggest the BCCI may make an exception and allow teams to retain as many as five players for this season, and the wish list of each team also be admissible. That could help franchises ensure that the core teams don’t slip away while still having room to adapt to cricket’s dynamic nature. CSK will have to strategize well with the right-to-match option not available. If Dhoni prefers to play, he should also like the idea of being one of those five retained players because that would please his fans for sure.
Conclusion
Much build-up regarding the future of IPL and new retention rules to be announced by the BCCI has accompanied MS Dhoni’s return to India. Will he stay with CSK, or is this the final script of his glorious career? Nonetheless, the verdict that may come along will not affect Dhoni’s legacy, as it is full of memories and victories. On their part, fans would hope that he continues to adorn the field again, taking up the leadership of CSK. Days ahead will be critical, not just for Dhoni but for each cricket enthusiast.
