Chennai Super Kings talisman Mahendra Singh Dhoni addressed the retirement rumours in a latest podcast after speculation of his retirement from IPL intensified, when his parents Pan Singh and Devaki Devi were seen at Chepauk for CSK's match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday.

'I am still playing IPL, I kept it very simple -- one year at a time -- I am 43, by the time I finish this season, I will be 44 in July -- so I have 10 months to decide whether I want to play one more year and it's not me deciding, it's the body, whether you can or not,' Dhoni told Raj Shamani in a podcast.

About his future, Dhoni had stated at an event ahead of IPL 2025: 'I've retired since 2019, so it will be quite some time. What I've been doing in the meantime is just wanting to enjoy cricket for the last, whatever few years I will be able to play.'
