Though CSK signed off with a dominant victory in their final league match, former India captain Dhoni was a far cry from his former self during IPL 2025. He scored 196 runs across 14 matches at an average of 24.50. His strike rate of 135.17 speaks volumes given he was batting at a strike rate of 220.55 the previous season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dhoni claimed he has the \u2018luxury of time\u2019 to think about his future and make a decision in the coming months. If it indeed was his last game, fans will be disappointed he did not get a chance to bat despite being geared up in his usual batting attire. He did not get a chance to make an impact on the scoreboard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI have 4-5 months to decide, there's no hurry. Need to keep the body fit. You have to be at your best. If cricketers start retiring for their performance, some of them will retire at 22. Will go back to Ranchi and enjoy a few bike rides. I am not saying I am done, nor saying I am coming back. I have the luxury of time. Will think about it and then decide,\u201d said Dhoni in the post-match chat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was certainly a season to forget for the five-time champions as they were subjected to their first ever bottom-placed finish in the points table. With only four wins on the board, CSK will certainly look to continue from the last game and get back to their usual self in 2026.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
