MS Dhoni Exercises Right to Vote in Ranchi After CSK’s IPL Exit
MS Dhoni casts his vote in Ranchi on Saturday, May 25.

MS Dhoni, the former Indian captain and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) leader, cast his vote in Ranchi on Saturday, May 25th. This comes after CSK’s elimination from the IPL 2024 group stage.
Dhoni, who had returned to Ranchi following CSK’s loss in their final league match, was seen entering his polling station dressed in a casual brownish-orange T-shirt and sunglasses.

Dhoni departed Bengaluru on Sunday, May 19th, after CSK’s disappointing campaign that saw them finish 5th in the group stage, behind KKR, SRH, RR, and RCB. This performance fell short of expectations, especially considering CSK’s victory under Dhoni’s leadership in the 2023 season.
Speculation surrounds whether the RCB match was Dhoni’s IPL farewell. While the legendary cricketer hasn’t announced his retirement, concerns about his fitness might limit his return to the league next year.
Additionally, the number of player retentions allowed per franchise could significantly impact Dhoni’s future. With a maximum of four potential retentions, CSK might prioritize retaining younger players, making Dhoni’s return as a player less likely.
