MS Dhoni, the legendary Chennai Super Kings captain, has addressed speculation about his future in the IPL, revealing his doctor's humorous yet insightful advice.
Dhoni shared that his doctor cleared him to play cricket for the next five years, but with a catch: only "with his eyes." This playful remark acknowledges the physical demands of professional cricket and the limitations imposed by age and previous injuries, despite Dhoni's renowned hand-eye coordination.
Addressing concerns about CSK's batting lineup, particularly after injuries impacted key players during the 2025 season, Dhoni expressed confidence in the team's balance with Ruturaj Gaikwad's return from injury.
While Dhoni's playing future remains uncertain, his influence on CSK and the IPL is undeniable. Fans eagerly await his decision, recognizing his enduring impact on the game.
“I just got a tick mark; for the next 5 years, I can play cricket. But the only catch is, the doc only gave a clearance for eyesight; for the body, he did not give a clearance. I cannot play cricket only with my eyes”
