BCCI Required to Meet Sole Condition for Dhoni to Continue IPL Journey

Former India batter Ambati Rayudu believes that MS Dhoni has not played his last match in the IPL and is urging the BCCI to keep the impact player rule to help the legendary cricketer continue in top-flight cricket. Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings were knocked out of the IPL after a 27-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a thrilling southern derby.

Despite needing 17 runs in the final over to qualify for the playoffs, CSK fell short as RCB’s Yash Dayal held his nerve to secure the win. Rayudu, who played under Dhoni at CSK, expressed his belief that Dhoni will not end his career on this note and may come back next year.

Rayudu emphasized the importance of the impact player rule in allowing Dhoni to make a significant impact in crucial moments of the game. He called on the BCCI to retain the rule to give fans the opportunity to see Dhoni play.

While Dhoni’s future remains uncertain, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden praised Dhoni’s leadership and cricketing acumen, highlighting his ability to hit the ball with power even at this stage of his career.

Despite the disappointment for Dhoni and CSK, RCB continued their impressive run with a sixth consecutive win, propelling them from the bottom of the table to the playoffs. The match showcased Dhoni’s resilience and determination, leaving fans hopeful for his return in the future.
