Although CSK ended their IPL 2025 campaign with a commanding win in their final league game, the 43-year-old struggled to replicate his past form. He managed 196 runs in 14 matches at an average of 24.50. His strike rate of 135.17 marked a significant drop from the explosive 220.55 he recorded in the previous season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt all depends on his health and how he feels. You have to understand that he really wants to play - the fire still burns. From what he said during the post-match presentation, it\u2019s clear that the fire still burns to win championships, to play out there in the middle. Now it\u2019s about going back and working on his body to bring it to the level he wants for the next IPL. If that doesn\u2019t happen, he\u2019ll call it before the mini-auction. If not, you\u2019ll see a tweet or an Instagram post,\" Uthappa said on JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the win against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Sunday, Dhoni continued the tradition of not confirming his participation for the next season. The wicketkeeper-batter left everyone in limbo over his return for the IPL 2026 season.<\/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,\" Dhoni said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
