Also, few days ago, MS Dhoni told Times Of India of his aspirations and desire to play and enjoy his twilight years in cricket, and that, ‘fitness’ will play a major role in this.
“I just want to enjoy whatever last few years of cricket I can play. When you play cricket like a professional sport, it becomes difficult to enjoy it just like a game. That’s what I want to do. It’s not easy,” said the five-time IPL winner at an event.
Is Ravindra Jadeja CSK’s Number 1 Retention? Here’s What We Know
As reported by Cricbuzz, the CSK management are awaiting for a confirmation from MS Dhoni by October 28. They also reported that as MS Dhoni will be retained under the ‘uncapped’ category, therefore his price will be INR 4 crore, and the 1st choice retention will be Ravindra Jadeja.
“It’s a given that Ravindra Jadeja will be the No. 1 retention, followed by Ruturaj Gaikwad. Matheesha Pathirana, essentially a CSK product, is believed to have agreed to be the No. 3 retention, with his manager finalising the deal in Chennai last week. Among Shivam Dube, Devon Conway, and uncapped player Sameer Rizvi, two should be retained,” reported Cricbuzz.
