Is It Time For MS Dhoni To Hang Up His Boots? Adam Gilchrist Thinks So

Cricket Legend Urges MS Dhoni to Retire from IPL

MS Dhoni, the iconic Indian cricketer, might be nearing the end of his illustrious IPL career. Legendary Australian wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist has suggested that Dhoni should consider retiring from the league after this season.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the team Dhoni famously captained to five IPL titles, are having a tough season. They’re struggling near the bottom of the table, and many are questioning their roster choices. While Dhoni stepped down as captain ahead of this year’s tournament, he’s been leading the team in the absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad, who got injured.

Gilchrist, speaking on Cricbuzz, acknowledged Dhoni’s incredible achievements, saying, ‘He (MS Dhoni) has nothing more to prove to anyone in the game. He has achieved everything that there is.’ However, he believes it might be time for Dhoni to move on.

‘I love you, MS. You are a champion, an icon,’ Gilchrist said, ‘but perhaps he doesn’t need to be there next year.’

Although Gilchrist thinks Dhoni’s time in the IPL might be over, he believes CSK should keep faith in other star players like Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin for at least one more season.
