IPL 2023, most probably, will be the last IPL for MS Dhoni as a player. Many Cricket fans have even made up their minds and have gotten an idea that MS Dhoni might not play the next edition of the tournament. Every video you see, every page you read, questions regarding MS Dhoni’s retirement are always trending. But former India and CSK batter Murali Vijay had a different take on the situation and asked people out to put so much pressure on Dhoni.
Speaking in an interview, he said, “It’s an individual choice. It’s high time people understand what a cricketer is going through. He’s served our country for about 15 years. So we should be giving him space to take that call, rather than putting pressure by asking when he’s going to retire. It’s very harsh for y’all to ask this question. Everybody is asking about MS’ retirement.”
“It is so sad for me to sit and answer it. I have retired recently, so I know how it feels. We have given our heart and soul to this game and it’s a personal choice, and I want to tell people to maintain that little bit of privacy”, he further added.
In their latest IPL 2023 fixture, Chennai defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by eight runs and are now third in the points table. In five matches, they have registered six points, packed with three wins and two defeats. For their next match, CSK are scheduled to face Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 29, on Friday.
