Like he often does, MS Dhoni makes fans wonder about his plans after this season of the IPL. After playing the final game in Ahmedabad for Chennai Super Kings, Dhoni said he wants a little time to consider his future. The tennis legend, turning 44 before the end of the year, said that being at the top needs to come with focus, dedication and hard work.
Everything MS Dhoni Has to Say
“I Need Time to Decide,” Says MS Dhoni
Just after winning with CSK in what could be his last IPL career match, MS Dhoni reminded everyone not to rush.
“It depends. I have about four to five months for making my decision.” He said following the match, “There is no urgency.”
Speaking further, he explained that racers need to improve discipline by 15% each year to remain fit at this level.
Fitness and Hunger Still Matter
According to Dhoni, it is important to consider both how you’re performing and your fitness and motivation before retiring. Being good at your job isn’t limited to your actions. You are considered based on your appetite, your overall fitness and the role you play on the team.
No Final Call Yet
“I’m not saying I’m done. I’m not saying I’m coming back. I have the luxury of time, so why not use it?”
He plans to head back to Ranchi, enjoy some downtime—including bike rides—and then reflect on the next steps.
