MS Dhoni’s retirement decision is still uncertain, as the former Indian captain has chosen to take his time before making any announcement. After leading Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025, Dhoni said he needs a few months to think about his future in cricket. Fans are eager to know if he will return for another season, but for now, he’s in no rush.
After CSK’s final match of the season against the Gujarat Titans, Dhoni candidly shared his thoughts on what lies ahead. He said he has “4-5 months to decide” and doesn’t want to rush. He explained that continuing to play at this level gets tougher every year, and it takes more effort to stay fit and ready.
When directly questioned about retirement, Dhoni neither confirmed nor denied anything. He said, “I am not saying I am done. I am not saying I’m coming back either. I have the luxury of time, so I will think it over and then decide.”
Dhoni stressed that playing professional cricket demands top fitness. He said every year, it takes around 15% more effort to keep up physically. The key isn’t just how well a player performs, but also how hungry they are to play, how fit they are, and whether they can still help the team. According to Dhoni, players shouldn’t retire just because of one bad season. What matters most is how much they still love the game and if they can still contribute to their team’s success.
Dhoni also mentioned his plan to go home to Ranchi and enjoy time with family. He looks forward to relaxing and taking a few bike rides before making any big decisions. He added that with no pressure to decide right away, he wants to use this time wisely.
For now, fans will have to wait patiently. MS Dhoni’s retirement decision will come only when he feels ready. No matter if he steps onto the field again or not, Dhoni’s impact on Indian cricket is nothing short of legendary. His calm attitude, wise leadership, and dedication continue to inspire young players and fans alike. As we look to the next season, one thing is certain: whatever Dhoni decides, it will be the right choice for him and the team he has led with pride.
