“Dhoni should’ve retired after IPL 2023 win”

Chennai Super Kings have been lackluster this IPL 2025 so has been its long term icon player MS Dhoni whose place in the squad is being questioned by one and all now.

Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwary, on Saturday openly criticised MS Dhoni, saying the Chennai Super Kings legend should have retired after the team’s IPL title win in 2023.

Coming to bat at No. 7 on Saturday in Chennai’s home game against Delhi Capitals, Dhoni scored just 30 not out off 26 balls, comprising a solitary six and a boundary.

“Forgive me if I’m being a little strict here. He should have retired after the 2023 IPL; it was his best time. With all the respect he has earned over the years, fans have not been able to see him in the last two years, and he is getting lost. Look at how the Chennai fans are reacting, coming out on the roads and giving those interviews,” Tiwary said on Cricbuzz.

” He is making the effort. Stephen Fleming also said Dhoni cannot bat more than 10 overs. But I can’t understand, when you can field for more than 20 overs, where you have to sit up and down, dive to take catches, make runouts, then you knee doesn’t hurt, but when it comes to helping the team win, you talk about 10 overs. All the decisions are being taken around him, but nothing is working for the team. I feel they should take a strong call and make him understand that it’s not working and that he should leave,” he said.
