The fact that MS Dhoni keeps coming back to the Indian Premier League (IPL) still leaves an intense argument full of cricket fans. By the end of conflicts with the UK and international cricket in 2020, the cricketer’s intentions of participation in IPL have been questioned.
People have different opinions and even professional cricket lovers are divided on who needs a longer stay in the IPL. Although some may take this as just a ‘phase,’ a whole other group is worried that IT keeps repeating the way: every now and then, her productivity decreases without good reason, as opposed to the previous years when she was passionate and full of enthusiasm. Viewers have appraised the ineffectiveness of Dhoni as a batter, which resulted in debates about why such outside forces can prompt Dhoni to play.
Through his leadership role as the ex-captain of the Chennai Super Kings franchise (CSK), he has had a long relationship with the team’s renowned owner, N Srinivasan. A paternal-type connection between the two, existing ever since Srinivasan was the President of the Board for Control of Cricket in India, has remained the single most constant facet of their otherwise tumultuous relationship. Critics contend that out of loyalty to Srinivasan and the CSK team, Dhoni may behave emotionally and want to play even if his passions in the sport are waning.
The fuel serviced to the rumours by the latest matches has revived the debates. Dhoni’s unfamiliarity with intentional bat lowers and exclusion from the lineup really pose a question of whether he should be replaced with some set batting order. A dialogue that excellently demonstrates how striking the compromise between those who want to keep a star player’s legacy alive and those who fight for the new talents to gain a foothold appears.
At 42 years of age, his dedication to the game is noticeable and ranks with his great performance, having led Team India to 3 ICC trophies and CSK team to 5 IPL titles. Nevertheless, ageing is omnipresent in this sport, and anxiety is associated with the influence on per performance of other team members.
