Chennai Super Kings have been out of the playoffs race in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 for the very first time and the captain MS Dhoni said that they will assess their main group of players while focusing on to build another core group to do well for the next 10 years.
While speaking at the post-match presentation after their final game against Kings XI Punjab where they beat them, Dhoni said that it's time to hand over the reign to a young Bridget. Notably, they were the only team to have featured in every playoff since beginning as well.
"We need to slightly change our core group and look for the next 10 years," MS Dhoni said after their final league game. "At the start of the IPL, we made a team and it served well. There comes a time where you have to shift a bit, hand it over to the next generation."
Dhoni, meanwhile, assured that they will return strongly in the next season as they are known for it only while citing that he will be a part of it too. However, he also cleared the rumour of his retirement from IPL at the toss for Sunday's game.
Dhoni himself confirmed that he will be featured in the next season as well.
He stressed "Most definitely" when he was asked by former New Zealand player Danny Morrison if the match against Kings XI Punjab was his last in yellow.
"It was a difficult campaign. We committed a lot of errors. The last four games were a template of where we would like to be. I don't think we played to the full potential. If you are lagging too much, it becomes very difficult to push yourself and come up with performances. Very proud the way they played their cricket. It would have been very tough 6-7 games,” he concluded.
