Says he does decide whether he plays the IPL 2025 once the engagement rules and regulations are finalized.
Before making a decision regarding his IPL potential, MS Dhoni has used a wait-and-see strategy. Before making a decision on whether to play another season, Modi wants to see what guideline adjustments come into effect, especially those that pertain to player engagement, as the IPL governing council prepares the bid and engagement plans ahead of the 2025 season.
" There is a lot of time for it", Dhoni, who turned 43 in July, said at an event in Hyderabad. We must wait to see what decisions they make regarding player loyalty, etc. Best then, the game is not in our court.
" But, once the rules and regulations get formalised, I will get a visit, but needs to be in the best attention of the team."
The IPL regulating committee met franchise owners and authorities on Wednesday night in Mumbai, to explore a host of laws. On the meeting's plan was the Impact Player principle, how many players are to be retained, and the lifestyle and consistency of the big auction ( one is due before next season ) among other factors.
Questions about Dhoni's coming at the IPL have been surfacing between and at the end of the last few months, and one of them, involving the Chennai Super Kings ( CSK) succession plan, was addressed earlier this year when he handed the captain to Ruturaj Gaikwad, times before the season began.
CSK narrowly lost out on a playoffs port under Gaikwad when they finished second on the table with 14 points, the same as RCB on fourth place but behind on online work level.
In the dying overs last year, Dhoni played the role of a professional in six-hitting. He generally walked out in the dying events of the CSK pitches and smoked 13 innings and 14 fours in the 73 balls he faced across the year, translating to about three balls per limit. His strike rate was a whopping 220.54- the first season where he struck at over 200- and he finished unbeaten in eight of his 11 innings.
