Yet dhoni

Chennai Super Kings: Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have allowed emotion to overshadow cricketing reality during the ongoing discussion surrounding MS Dhoni and his future with the franchise.

With retirement speculation once again dominating conversations around Dhoni following CSK’s final home game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at Chepauk, Manjrekar admitted he has little left to add to the debate and suggested the focus should instead shift towards performances and team balance.

“To be very honest, I've exhausted myself so much talking about another icon. I've got nothing left to say about Dhoni. And if you want a very short and brutally honest answer, it doesn't matter. Whether he plays, whether he doesn't play,” Manjrekar told Sportstar Podcast.
