IPL may mark farewell for Dhoni, Sharma, Kohli

This IPL season may be the last for cricket legends like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli. Other experienced players such as Faf Du Plessis are also in the spotlight as they aim to make their mark one final time. Rohit Sharma, captain of the Mumbai Indians, has not been as dominant in recent years. However, during IPL 2024, he showed he still has the skills, scoring 417 runs in 14 matches. After retiring from T20 internationals, many wonder if he will leave the IPL stage on a high note, similar to his T20 World Cup farewell. Virat Kohli had an outstanding season last year, scoring 741 runs and proving his value in the field. Despite his success, he has yet to win an IPL title with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Kohli announced his retirement from T20I cricket last year and will likely aim to make this season memorable, possibly under new captain Rajat Patidar. MS Dhoni's future in the IPL remains uncertain. The former India captain has not indicated he will retire from playing with the Chennai Super Kings. Last season, he had an impressive performance, scoring 161 runs with a remarkable strike rate. At 43, fans are eager to know if he will bid farewell to the league with a significant win for CSK. Faf Du Plessis, who has not played a Test match since February 2021, continues to perform well in the IPL. He has now joined the Delhi Capitals as a deputy to Axar Patel. In his last season, he scored 438 runs and will play a vital role in the team's success. Sunil Narine and Andre Russell, both key players for Kolkata Knight Riders, are also in their later years in the league. Narine had a strong performance last season, scoring 488 runs and taking 17 wickets. Meanwhile, Russell is looking to leave a lasting legacy after overcoming recent injuries. As this season unfolds, fans are left wondering if it will be the final chapter for these cricketing icons.
