Ο Srikkanth θέλει να φύγει από τη γήρανση της κας Dhoni

Former Indian cricketer K Srikkanth opined that it was high time MS Dhoni called it a day in the IPL. His remarks come a day after CSK lost yet another game in IPL 2025 where the former captain managed to score just 16 runs off 17 deliveries. Srikkanth joined several others experts, noting that Dhoni was simply not as good as he was before.

“Thala should walk away”

In a video on his YouTube channel, Srikkanth pointed out that Dhoni was ageing and hence there was nothing much to expect from him. He claimed that MSD’s reflexes had gone down and that perhaps his knees had given up.

“Dhoni is also ageing, you can’t expect too much from him. But at the same time, you can’t keep coming and messing it up, if you are not able to do it, say you’re not able to do it and walk away. That’s a call Dhoni can only take,” Srikkanth said.

It is pertinent to point out that Dhoni is the oldest uncapped player who is still active in the IPL. Earlier, reports had stated that he had already communicated his decision to continue playing for CSK in 2026 and that that the team was also unwilling to let go of the stalwart as they need him for the transition.

However, Srikkanth wondered in what capability would Dhoni continue if he plays next year. Further, he pointed out that Thala was simply unable to replicate his own game, noting that he was being boggled by the spinners.

“Whether he will continue, if he continues, then in what role: captain, wicket keeper or finisher? In all fairness, his reflexes has gone down. His knees might have given up, his fitness, reflex level, everything will obviously come down. And moreover, the top order is flopping,” he added.
