Dhoni said this on his retirement
After Qualifier One, Dhoni was asked by presenter Harsha Bhogle if the play-off match was his last match at home, to which Dhoni said, “I don’t know, I have eight, nine months to decide.” He said that the short auction would happen around December, so why take the headache now. I have enough time to decide. He said that I will always be a part of CSK, be it on the field of play or in the dugout.
