CSK CEO Speaks Out on MS Dhoni’s Retirement Plans After IPL 2024 Exit

MS Dhoni’s IPL 2024 Journey Comes to an End as CSK CEO Breaks Silence on Retirement Speculations

The IPL 2024 journey for MS Dhoni has come to an end as the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain is reportedly planning a visit to London for treatment of a muscle tear injury, according to CSK sources. Dhoni will make a decision on his future course of action post-recovery.

CSK’s hopes of making it to the playoffs were dashed after a heartbreaking defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a do-or-die match. This marks only the third time that the five-time champions will not feature in the IPL playoffs.

Speculations about Dhoni’s retirement grew after the match, but CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan has clarified that there have been no discussions about it in the dressing room. Viswanathan stated, “When he takes a decision, he will inform us, until then we will not interfere.”

Sources have revealed that Dhoni will be deciding about his retirement only after undergoing surgery in London for the muscle tear injury that affected his performance during the IPL. It is expected to take him five to six months to recover fully.

Despite a valiant effort in the match, CSK fell short in the chase of 219 runs. With the conclusion of their campaign, fans and experts have speculated that this could be Dhoni’s final season for the franchise. However, the veteran cricketer has kept his plans close to his heart and returned home after the match.

As the cricketing world awaits Dhoni’s decision, his legacy and contribution to the sport remain unparalleled.
