Dhoni’s future with CSK: It has been months since the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) season ended, but it is still not completely clear whether former captain MS Dhoni will play for Chennai in the next season or not. At the beginning of last season, Dhoni had decided to leave the captaincy. After this, Super Kings handed over the leadership to Ruturaj Gaikwad.Although Chennai had failed to qualify for the playoffs, Gaikwad had impressed with his captaincy, but there is still talk among fans and all sections of society whether Dhoni will play for Chennai in the next season or not. . But now the news coming out is that according to them, Dhoni’s move to Chennai completely depends on the retention rules of IPL and BCCI.
The IPL mega auction will take place early next year, so it is still not clear how many players BCCI will allow the franchise teams to retain. According to the report, it will be completely possible for Dhoni to play in the next season only when BCCI allows each franchise team to retain 5-6 players.
If we talk about the present, the players whom the Chennai management is most expected to retain are captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Mathisha Theekshana and Shivam Dubey. However, the order of writing these may be different. According to a report a few days ago, all the franchise owners had demanded BCCI to retain more players, but the board’s view is that if this happens, it will cut down on the number of players to be auctioned and also on the excitement of the auction. There will be an impact.
Earlier it was reported that IPL management has invited the franchise owners for a meeting on 31st July. The issue of retention will be discussed in this meeting. It means clearly that in the team meeting tomorrow on Wednesday, it will be almost clear whether Dhoni has a future in the next IPL or not.According to the information, IPL CEO Hemang Amin has sent a message to all the franchise owners for a meeting, but the place and timing of the meeting cannot be confirmed. According to the report, Amin has indicated in the message sent that the meeting will be held in the evening on 31st July. At the same time, franchise owners have also confirmed their availability.
