Is Dhoni Retiring From IPL?

Former India opener Aakash Chopra stated that IPL 2022 will be the last season for MS Dhoni, who has stepped down from the captaincy and handed over to Ravindra Jadeja.

On his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra expressed his thoughts on Dhoni's IPL career.

Earlier this year, I'm sure he didn't want the franchise to retain him because spending cash to keep him would not have made the team stronger, as he might not be there next season. This is why he wanted Jadeja to be the first retained player, since he may go if he is not paid INR 16 crore, "Chopra added.

Dhoni, as a player, would not interfere with Jadeja's decision-making unless he was asked for assistance.
