Delhi: Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batsman Ambati Rayudu feels that Mahendra Singh Dhoni's professional career is not over yet and he can make a comeback in the next season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025. After CSK's defeat in the last league match of IPL 2024, five-time champion RCB was out of the tournament.

38-year-old Ambati said on Star Sports, “I don't think this is his last match. I don't think he would want it to end there. Even after being out, he looked a little disappointed. This is completely different from MS Dhoni, he just wanted to qualify and finish on a higher level, but you never know with MS Dhoni, he may come back next year.”

He further said, “With the impact player rule, it gives him a chance to be able to make an impact in the last few overs. It would be better if BCCI does not remove the impact player rule, because we still want to see MS Dhoni playing, so now it is up to BCCI whether we want to see MS Dhoni playing or not.”

Dhoni has performed brilliantly in IPL 2024

For your information, let us tell you that Dhoni has performed brilliantly this season and has scored 161 runs in 11 innings at an average of 53.66 and strike rate of 220.54. The 42-year-old player hit 14 fours and 13 sixes during the tournament and helped CSK take full advantage of the death overs.

Not only this, the Ranchi-born cricketer was seen struggling with an injured knee while playing in this competition, which was considered to be his last tournament. However, CSK fans are hoping that Mahi comes to entertain them for the last time.
