“There's no hurry to decide what needs to be done”: MS Dhoni on his IPL future
Legendary MS Dhoni has addressed speculation about his future in the Indian Premier League (IPL), stating he has "four to five months" to decide whether to continue playing. This comment came after CSK’s dominant 83-run victory over Gujarat Titans in their final match of the IPL 2025 on Sunday in Ahmedabad. It was a consolation victory for CSK, as they had already been eliminated from the tournament following a disappointing campaign.
"It depends. Again, I would say the same thing: I have four-five months to decide; there's no hurry to decide what needs to be done," Dhoni said after the game.
"Every year, it's 15% more effort to keep the body fit - not to forget this is top-level cricket. It's professional cricket; you have to be at your best, and it's not always performance that you can count because if cricketers start retiring because of performance, then a few of them will retire when they're 22."
"What is important to see is how much hunger you have, what kind of fitness you have, and how much you can contribute to the team, and whether the team needs you or not. So I have enough time. I will go back to Ranchi - haven't been home for a long time - enjoy a few bike rides, couple of months and then decide."
"I'm not saying I'm done, I'm not saying I'm coming back. As I said, I have the luxury of time. When you have the luxury then why not think about it and then decide."
CSK capped off their IPL 2025 campaign at the bottom of the points table with four victories in 14 games.
