Ruturaj Gaikwad: After the end of IPL 2024, once again a question was circulating among all the fans, was this the last season of Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni)? Will Mahi retire before the next season? However, the answer to this could not be found then.

In fact, during the 17th edition, Dhoni did not come for a single post-match show or press conference for discussion. In such a situation, the commentators could not ask him this big and obvious question. However, now it has been revealed. CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has answered this in gestures.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, who captained Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2024, is currently busy in the Maharashtra Premier League 2024 (MPL). The 27-year-old player is also captaining Puneri Bappa. Yesterday, he surprised his fans during the match against Chhatrapati Sambhaji.

Actually, when Chhatrapati was batting, Ruturaj Gaikwad wore wicketkeeping gloves on his hands and started wicketkeeping. However, this was somewhere indicating that in the next IPL season, apart from captaining CSK, Ruturaj may also do wicketkeeping for this team. This means that MS Dhoni's journey in IPL is about to end.

The owner of CSK had said this

After the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League ended, the CEO of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was asked about Mahendra Singh Dhoni's retirement.

In response to this, he said, “Mahi has told the team management that he will decide after a few months whether he will play next season or not.” After this, various speculations started being made on social media.

Mahi is struggling with injury problem

Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) has been struggling with fitness problems for the last two IPL seasons. Actually, he has a serious injury near his knee. During the 17th edition, he was seen playing with a bandage. Perhaps this is the reason why Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad shortly before the start of the season.
