Having retired from international cricket in 2020, MS Dhoni continues to play franchise cricket for Chennai Super Kings in IPL.
New Delhi: India pacer Mohammed Shami revealed MS Dhoni’s retirement strategy stating the Chennai Super Kings legend will not bid adieu to the game until and unless the two-time World Cup former captain feels bored. Having retired from international cricket in 2020, Dhoni continues to play franchise cricket in the Indian Premier League.
Dhoni’s retirement has become a major topic of discussion after every Indian Premier League season in the last four years. Even after IPL 2024, Dhoni gave no hints of retirement. “You (media) guys have been putting a question mark on his future. The man himself says, ‘Dekha Jayega’ (let’s see),” Shami said while speaking to a YouTuber.
“I had this conversation with Mahi bhai, asking ‘When should a player retire?’. He said, ‘First when you yourself get bored and second, Jab lage ki laat padne wali hai (when you realise that you would be kicked out of the team).
“But the first and foremost thing is that when you stop enjoying the game, it’s a sign that your time has come. Better you choose the best moment to retire. Because your body starts intimating you if you can’t sustain a particular format. That’s when a player should call it time,” added the Gujarat Titans pacer.
