When asked if he was proud to have left a legacy behind in the 12 seasons for CSK, MS Dhoni assured his million fans with a wide grin, “Still I haven’t left behind...”
Mahendra Singh Dhoni in his inimitable style kept questions on his Indian Premier League (IPL) retirement open-ended but did admit that a lot of things will depend on the kind of retention policy that Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) puts in place for the big auction next year. Dhoni, who is set to join the Indian team as ‘Mentor’ for the T20 World Cup, spoke about how he would like to create a roadmap for the next 10 years of IPL that Chennai Super Kings will be playing.
When asked if he was proud to have left a legacy behind in the 12 seasons for CSK, Dhoni assured his million fans with a wide grin, “Still I haven’t left behind...”
But he said that he hasn't decided how he would fit into the retention scheme of things. “Again I’ve said it before, it depends on BCCI. With two new teams coming in...We have to decide what is good for CSK,” the skipper said after his team won the fourth IPL title by beating Kolkata Knight Riders in the final.
It’s not about me being there in top-three or four. It's about making a strong core to ensure the franchise doesn’t suffer. The core group, we have to have a hard look to see who can contribute for the next 10 years,” he added.
