With MS Dhoni stepping down from the place of Chennai Superkings captain, all his followers now have one query. Whether he’ll play anymore? There are some who’re very positive that he may now not be out there for all video games, enjoying the position of a mentor to a big extent. Meanwhile former India opener Aakash Chopra feels that Dhoni may altogether drop himself from subsequent version onwards. “MS Dhoni has declared that he’s now not the king and he’ll now solely be an individual within the kingdom who’ll serve the king. But the fact is that he’s the king and the captain. He is the king of CSK. It is nearly confirmed now that he received’t play subsequent 12 months.
“Earlier this 12 months too, I’m positive he didn’t need the franchise to retain him as spending cash on retaining him wouldn’t have made the staff stronger, as he is probably not there for subsequent season. This is why he requested Jadeja to be the primary retainee, as he may not keep if he’s not given ₹16 crore,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.
Dhoni stepped down from the position on Thursday, handing over the reins to Ravindra Jadeja. According to a report, he had already made up his mind and wanted a smooth transition in leadership. He also felt Jadeja was ready to take the onus. It has also been learned that Dhoni announced his decision on Thursday at the team meeting before the squad left for training.
Coming back to Chopra, the cricket expert underlined the fact that Dhoni after this transition ‘will only talk when needed to.’ “When MS Dhoni is not the captain, he becomes non-intrusive. He will only talk when needed or when you go to him. He’s is not someone who’ll walk up to you and impose his opinions. He prefers to be on the sidelines until someone walks up to him for advice,” Chopra additional stated.
“I’ll miss him on the tosses and his feedback in the course of the post-match displays. Even when the presenters ask tough questions, he dodges them properly together with his phrases. I don’t suppose he received’t take a break and he’ll play all of the matches.”
