Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni says that he has no decision on retirement for the time being. The 41-year-old said that there will be clarity in the star auction in December. Dhoni’s reaction was following Chennai reached the final following defeating Gujarat Titans in the IPL qualifier. It is the 10th time that Chennai is entering the finals. Dhoni’s retirement has been rife with rumors since the early stages of the IPL season. Even following the match once morest Gujarat, that question came up once more. “I can’t say now whether he will be in Chennai as a player. There are 8-9 months ahead. There is still time to make a decision. The auction is in December. Will be with Chennai at that stage. He has been training since March. Let’s wait and see what happens’ – said Dhoni. Dhoni retired from international cricket in 2019. Chennai played a brilliant game once morest Gujarat. 172 runs were achieved by batting first. Chennai dismissed Gujarat’s strong batting line for 157 with excellent bowling and fielding. Dhoni’s decisions as a captain have also been good. Fielding controls were also notable. There was no hope of Chennai progressing this season. They lost to the champions Gujarat in the first match. They won the next two games but lost to Rajasthan Royals in the fourth game. However, the game changed later. Openers Rituraj Gaekwad and Devon Conway have given bright starts in every game. Firework performances from Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dubey also turned out to be good. Conway scored 625 runs in 15 games. Other scorers are Gaikwad 564, Dubey 386 and Rahane 199. Among the bowlers, Akash Deshpande is leading with 21 wickets. Jadeja has 19 wickets and Pathirana has 17 wickets. Ravindra Jadeja was the spearhead of Chennai in bowling. Deepak Chahar, who was off color in the first matches, also made a strong comeback. Mahesh Pathirana’s yorkers in the last overs changed the course of the game. After all, it was Dhoni’s tactics that fueled Chennai’s surge. The final will be held in Ahmedabad on 28th. If they win, it will be the fifth title for Chennai. The winners were in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. Read on deshabhimani.com
