Time for Mahi to rest: Joginder Sharma leaves a big statement about Dhonis IPL Future

Diu (Daman and Diu) [India]May 20 (Ani): Former Indian cricketer and the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning star yoginder Sharma feels that it’s time for Chennai Super Kings icon MS Dhoni ‘to’ rest ‘. Chennai, a team that boasts five wins and 12 play -offs, chased the shadows of his former self as it crashed from the playoffs in the group stage. After the designated captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was excluded from the tournament, Dhoni took the mantle to lead the beleaguered CSK. Speculations are doing Dhoni’s future in the continuous Indian Premier League after the five -time champions crashed out of the race to the playoffs after a Shambolian campaign in the 18th season. Rumors about the retirement of Dhoni arose when his family came to Chepuk last month for Chennai’s match against Delhi Capitals. The 43-year-old man who descended in the batting order fueled the rumor factory, especially after Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming admitted that Dhoni couldn’t bat for ’10 overs that had full stick ‘. Joginder, who was Dhoni’s final on Master Stroke against Pakistan in the T20 World Championships in 2007, believes it’s time for veteran wicketkeeper Adieu to host for his 18-year travel in the continuous league. “If he takes into consideration Mahi’s fitness level, he has to play to prove his fitness, but I believe it’s time for him to rest,” Joginder told Ani. Dhoni addressed his retirement plans after helping Chennai help to make defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders disappear earlier this month. He admitted that he would have to see if his body could take pressure within the next six to eight months. “After this IPL is over, I have to work hard for another 6-8 months to see if my body can undertake this pressure. Nothing to decide now, but the love and affection I saw is excellent,” he said in the presentation after the match. With his brute force and lightning-fast reflexes with the gloves, Dhoni overturned several records in the 18th season, including in 400 T20s, who became the oldest player who judged the player of the match and achieved the most victories as captain and many more. During CSK’s IPL 2023 victory, Dhoni did not miss a single match. He led the team from the front and ensured that his troops walked away with their fifth IPL title at the end of the tournament. Months later, the former Indian captain underwent knee surgery at the beginning of this month to overcome the issue he carried most of the season. (Ani)
