Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwary harshly criticized MS Dhoni, suggesting that the Chennai Super Kings legend should have retired after the team’s IPL title win in 2023. Tiwary’s comments came after Dhoni’s lackluster performance in the ongoing IPL 2025. Tiwary believes it is time for Chennai captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to make a decision on Dhoni’s future. In a recent game against Delhi Capitals, Dhoni scored just 30 not out off 26 balls, contributing to Chennai’s loss. Tiwary expressed sadness over Dhoni’s declining legacy and suggested that he should have retired after the 2023 IPL victory.
Tiwary also questioned Stephen Fleming’s revelation about Dhoni’s batting position, citing Dhoni’s knee issues as a reason for his limited batting time. Tiwary found it perplexing that Dhoni could field for 20 overs but struggle to bat for more than 10. He urged Chennai to have a frank conversation with Dhoni about his performance and consider retirement. Chennai will face Punjab Kings in their next match.
Tiwary’s comments highlight the ongoing debate surrounding Dhoni’s future in cricket and the need for a potential retirement decision.
