Overview
- Yograj Singh, in an InsideSport interview on Friday, said MS Dhoni should continue for 10 more years and dismissed calls for his retirement.
- He framed the praise as respect for Dhoni’s fitness and discipline, marking a sharp turn from his past complaints that Dhoni hurt Yuvraj Singh’s career.
- Yograj also drew backlash for a sexist claim that wives push players to retire, a remark carried by national outlets as the IPL season gets underway.
- Ravichandran Ashwin said Dhoni has trained for three months and should be in the Chennai Super Kings XI if he is in the squad.
- Dhoni is 44, has managed knee issues, and often bats late, so CSK are weighing a regular XI role versus using him as an Impact Player as they start on March 30 in Guwahati.
