Ever since the former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni walked off the field after being run out owing to a direct hit from Martin Guptill during the 2019 World Cup semifinal match between India and New Zealand, he is yet to play any form of cricket. He has kept everyone guessing about his future with many fans believing that Dhoni might never play for India again.

However, in a recent interview, former IPL chairman, Rajeev Shukla has recalled that the Ranchi-born superstar has a lot of cricket left in him. He even pointed out that BCCI has a policy that leaves it to the player to decide his own future. Hence, MS Dhoni will have the freedom of taking a call on his retirement.

Talking to the reporters in Indore, as per the quotes in India Today, Shukla said, “Dhoni is a great cricketer and there is a lot more cricket left in him. But, he has to decide when he should take retirement. The BCCI has a policy in place that a cricketer has to take a call on when to take retirement.”

Dhoni announced his retirement from the longest format of the game in 2014 and handed over the captaincy to Virat Kohli of ODIs and T20Is in 2017. Although he is unlikely to make a comeback to the Indian team in near future, it is widely expected that he will turn up for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The Indian head coach Ravi Shastri had earlier confirmed Dhoni’s participation in IPL 2020, saying that his performances in the IPL will determine his place in Team India for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
