There is a possibility of Dhoni announcing retirement after the 17th season.
Speaking on the Star Sports ‘Press Room’, Rayudu felt that with the Impact Player Rule in place, Dhoni could take a back seat and promote someone as a skipper in the middle of the season.
Rayudu laballed IPL 2024 as the serason of transition for the five-time champions if Dhoni decides to bid adieu. The former CSK player said that if Dhoni chose to play for a few more seasons, he would continue leading the side.
“Dhoni will take a back seast with the Impact Player Rule to allow someone else to lead the side during the middle of the season. This is going to be a year of transition for CSK. If Dhoni decides to play for a few more seasons, he would captain the side. I want to see him as a skipper.”
Ambati said Dhoni would play all the matches even if he was unfit. The former player highlighted how Dhoni carried on despite a knee injury in the last season.
“If Dhoni is even 10 percent fit, he will all the games. He played the last season with knee injury and gave his best. I don’t think anything can stop him from playing the full season,” he added.
