Mohammed Shami Unveils MS Dhoni’s Secret to Delaying Retirement

MS Dhoni, the legendary former Indian captain, has not yet announced his retirement, despite being 43 years old. Fans had expected him to retire after the IPL 2024 season, especially since he had handed over the Chennai Super Kings’ captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad before the season started.

Dhoni’s Continued Presence

Dhoni remained an important player for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during the IPL 2024 season. Despite his age and the expectation that he might retire, Dhoni’s performances were still significant. CSK, however, did not advance to the playoffs. They were knocked out after losing their final league match to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 27 runs.

Mohammed Shami’s Insights

In a recent YouTube podcast, Indian pacer Mohammed Shami shared some insights into why Dhoni is delaying his retirement. Shami revealed that Dhoni believes a player should retire under two conditions:
1. **Loss of Enjoyment:** When a player no longer enjoys playing cricket.
2. **Risk of Being Dropped:** When a player feels they might be removed from the team.

Shami recounted a conversation he had with Dhoni about retirement. Dhoni told him, “When you stop enjoying the game, that’s when you should consider retiring. Your body will also start giving you signals if you can’t keep up with the game. It’s better to retire on your own terms rather than waiting for someone else to decide for you.”

Dhoni’s Performance

Even though Dhoni was in good form during IPL 2024, playing crucial innings for CSK, it wasn’t enough to secure their spot in the playoffs. His late cameos were impactful, but the team’s overall performance fell short.

Conclusion

MS Dhoni continues to play at the highest level despite his age. According to Mohammed Shami, Dhoni’s decision to delay retirement is based on his love for the game and his readiness to retire on his own terms, rather than due to external pressures.
