Chennai Super Kings star MS Dhoni is facing some tough questions about his future in cricket lately. Fans and experts are talking about whether he should retire, and even former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has joined the conversation. But instead of agreeing with the critics, Ponting backed Dhoni in a recent interview. He said Dhoni is still a great wicketkeeper and should not be judged too harshly.
Ponting noted that the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been very successful in the Indian Premier League (IPL) because they make smart decisions. He pointed out that Dhoni’s role has changed in recent years; now he usually bats towards the end of the game. Even though Dhoni has less time to bat, he can still be a game-changer.
When asked if Dhoni would retire soon, Ponting said it all depends on how well Dhoni performs this season. If he does well with the bat, he might continue playing. But if he struggles, he may think about retirement.
Dhoni’s finishing skills are not as sharp as they used to be. Recently, he scored 30 runs in a match against Delhi Capitals, but that wasn’t enough, and CSK lost. Fans grew more concerned when they saw Dhoni’s family at the game, which is not common.
In a recent podcast, Dhoni addressed the retirement rumors directly. He said he is still playing and taking it one year at a time. Since he is 43 now and will turn 44 soon, he wants to see how his body feels before deciding on the next season.
