Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a pretty disappointing campaign at the IPL 2025 as they became the first team to be eliminated from the tournament after losing 8 out of their 10 games. MS Dhoni is the captain of the side after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the IPL 2025 in the middle of the season with an injury. The 43-year-old has not been at his best, and there have been questions raised on his future. Now former South Africa captain and Mumbai Indians bowlers Shaun Pollock as raised questions on Dhoni's future. In an interaction with Cricbuzz, Shaun Pollock said that CSK do not need MS Dhoni as captain next season because he has nothing more to achieve. He also said that he would be very surprised if Dhoni stayed for one more year. "I don't think (CSK needs Dhoni the captain next season). He is having to step in because Gaikwad is injured. He has nothing more to achieve. He has won as much as anyone. It's gonna be down to what he wants because of the legacy he has left and the impact he has had on the franchise, they have kind of given him free rein to be the one who makes the call," Pollock said. We will wait until you have decided you have had enough. Will that change? I don't know. Would the owners have a word with him? We've tried to predict this for so long and now we sound like a broken record. We can't get to the bottom of it. But yeah, I would be very surprised if he were there next year," he added.

He's above Hall of Fame. He has set the standard for anyone who tries to get into that Hall of Fame in this tournament. It is going to be a long time before a single player can have such an impact on building and the legacy of IPL cricket. Whatever does happen, there's plenty of time to reflect on that, and knowing him, he might not just say anything and keep us guessing until next year. Whatever the case, he has had the biggest impact in IPL,” Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from IPL 2025,IPL Orange Cap, IPL Purple Cap, Most Sixes in IPL, Cricket, Sports and around the world.
