‘Mrs. Dhoni does not need to be there next year’: former Australian cricket player CSK’s stand-in captain makes a great explanation about the future | Cricket News

Former Australian Wicketkeeper and Cricket legend Adam Gilchrist confused the discussion with a bold statement in Cricbuzz, and claimed that Mrs. Dhoni should not continue as a player for Chennai Super Kings in the next IPL season.
Following a disappointing 2025 campaign, Gilchrist offered to buy a player-actor in a video segment that analyzes CSK’s potential holding strategy. The title moment addressed the future of Ms. Dhoni, the face of the franchise for more than 15 years.
“Miss, he will know what he wants to do, Gil Gilchrist Cricbuzz said. “But I say for the future – it will cost me, I know – but maybe he doesn’t have to be there next year. I love you, lady. You are a champion, a symbol.”
While Dhoni praised his contributions and legendary status, Gilchrist stressed the importance of looking forward as CSK rebuilt. His comments reflect an increasing conversation between fans and analysts: it is time to go beyond the Dhoni period of the franchise and build it around the new generation stars. This bold view comes at a time when CSK sits under the IPL score table after 9 games, which is far from normal excellence standards.

Gilchrist supported Ruturaj Gaikwad as an election framework, praised Ayush Mhatre, and supported the appreciation of Shivam, Dewald Brevis and Ravindra Jadeja. However, the expression of Dhoni, which is delivered with both love and honesty, is the most echoed thing.

While the CSK fans are processing another challenging season, the seizure of the man Gilchrist creates a touching question: will the 2025, the last part of the Dhoni-CSK heritage be remembered as the last part of the heritage?
