ماذا قال شاروخان عن اعتزال MS Dhoni من IPL؟

There is a lot in common between Bollywood ‘Badshah’ Shah Rukh Khan, owner of Kolkata Knight Riders franchise, and former India and CSK captain MS Dhoni. Or that is what SRK believes as he stated at the IIFA 2024 awards function last week.

What Shahrukh Khan said on MS Dhoni?

During the recent IIFA award ceremony, the ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawaan’ star was teased about retirement by filmmaker Karan Johar but the owner of IPL 2024 champion franchise came up with a hilarious reply. SRK said that ‘he and Dhoni are the same kind of legends’ before adding that Dhoni said he is retiring but ended up playing for 10 more years.

“The biggest thing about legends unki khasiyat ye hoti hai ki legends ko maalum hota hai, when to stop, when to retire. Like the great Sachin Tendulkar, like Sunil Chhetri the footballer, like Roger Federer the great tennis star. They all know when to retire, and I think it’s time you did too. So please go back. Thank you very much,” Shah Rukh said to Karan Johar.

Will MS Dhoni play IPL 2025?

In a move that could significantly benefit Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the IPL has reinstated a rule from 2008 that allows Indian players who have retired from international cricket for at least five years to be considered ‘uncapped’ in the auction. This means CSK can potentially retain their former captain, MS Dhoni, as an uncapped player for Rs 4 crore.

MS Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in 2020 and turned 43 in July this year, was previously retained for Rs 12 crore ahead of the 2022 mega auction. It will be a massive salary cut for MS Dhoni in IPL 2025 but it remains to be seen if ‘Thala’ will agree to such a deal before the IPL 2025 mega auction in November this year.
