Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Tuesday said he will take a call on his retirement in another 8 to 9 months as there is no rush to decide on the future. There have been speculations that 2023 could be a swansong season for Dhoni. "I don't know, I have 8-9 months to decide. Why take that headache now. I have ample time to decide.

The auction is in December," Dhoni said at the post-match presentation after guiding CSK to their 10th IPL final. "I will always come to CSK. I have been out of home from January, been practicing since March, so we will see." The four-time champions, who had finished at the ninth spot in 2022, dished out a commanding performance to outclass Gujarat Titans by 15 runs in Qualifier 1 to make it to the summit clash yet again.
