Matthew Hayden's No Nonsense Response to What Irritates MS Dhoni

One of the finest cricketers of all time and a true legend of the game, MS Dhoni is a name that needs no introduction. Over the years, Dhoni has won several accolades, both in international cricket and in the Indian Premier League for the Chennai Super Kings.

Dhoni hasn't just made a name for himself as a finisher and wicketkeeper but also as a captain, especially because of the way he handles tense situations. Nicknamed 'captain cool' by peers, Dhoni, however, does lose his cool on occasions.

Australia great Matthew Hayden, who has also played with Dhoni in the IPL with Chennai Super Kings, revealed what it is that 'irritates' Dhoni.

Watch the video here.

Though Dhoni manages to keep his cool on most occasions, it is casual fielding that irritates him, according to Hayden.

Recently, Dhoni was asked why he doesn't do YouTube live videos like some other retired cricketers. He gave an interesting reply.

MS Dhoni can be heard saying in a video that has been widely shared on X, "Just now I was talking about this. Someone even asked me the same. Woh bolte hai'mere se na ho payega', because it's very tough. I won't say I am very camera-conscious, but it doesn't come to me. So, I am very happy to have a one-on-one conversation. I am more of an in-person kid than a man. When it comes to YouTube, I don't think I will be able to do it. Plus, I am moody. It might happen that I will make three-four videos, then, like on Instagram, put another video after one year."

Chennai Super Kings A Consistent Performer and Socially Responsible IPL Team

[myauditionfordrphil]

Ok so last post on this matter and then I'll hopefully shut up till the match tomorrow. It was inevitable, we all somewhere knew that Dhoni will step down as captain but let's be honest we all were in denial. It just seems so unreal, MS not being the skipper? Especially for CSK? Crazy. He also did it in the most Mahi-est way ever like he always does, quietly letting the CSK and IPL handle announce it, a literal day before the season begins and without any fuss or theatrics but yeah it won't be the same anymore. Not seeing him walking down at toss time or anticipating his post match with Harsha (that's what I'll miss the most ngl 🙈), it will be hard to digest. It's the end of era, the Dhoni-Rohit-Kohli era which was basically our childhood, it feels like yesterday when the holy trinity were captaining their respective teams and now no one is the captain anymore. But MSD will always be CSK's leader, he'll always be our Captain, our Thala and there's quite no one who'll be able to live upto his reputation and legacy. It is quiet understandable why he was so emotional during the finals last year, why he showed so much emotion when he is usually stoic because knowing him he already would've known that it was his last season as captain. His career has been a whole circle, he started as a long haired wicketkeeper-batsman and he'll end his career in the same way, his first trophy as a captain was a T20 cup and his last was also the same, but it would be all the things he did in between that'll define him, that'll be his legacy. And lastly huge congratulations to Ruturaj, we all knew that he will be our next captain and he'll also get the opportunity to work as a captain under MS which is a lot in itself. He has huge shoes to fill and it won't be easy in any possible way but we as CSK fans stand behind you Rutu, best of luck for the journey ahead 💛

[stylinsuns]

& to akaash chopra and parthiv patel and all the other chamche in the commentary box , get one thing straight once and for all : csk is not just dhoni or what dhoni makes it. it is also all those individual boys with their own individual, unique, unparalleled talent and skill and respect for the game and their captain. they have all given their blood sweat and tears to this game and this league and it's not fair for it to always just be straight up attributed to the captain.

[girlfriendpato]

Tell me more about this CSK I don’t know what’s happening 😭

💛.

CSK is the Chennai Super Kings (cricket team) and they played in the Indian premier league finals yesterday and FUCKING WON WE WON WE GODDAMN WON WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS (5th title).

Basically we choose to bowl first and there was a point we thought we were done for when Gujarat Titans hit 214 (when a team gets above 200 they've always won and this is the highest score ever in an IPL final) and like yknow i was ready to fucking start sobbing cause chasing a score like that down is just insane

BUT THEN WE FUCKING DID IT WE FUCKING CHASED THAT SCORE DOWN. We goddamn won by 5 wickets we fucking won and we are the goddamn champions (why me and shey @balaclavacharles and basically every CSK fan are currently going insane and probably will be for a long long time). Also MS Dhoni (My king (CSK captain)) said he wasn't going to retire yet and also fucking Jadeja went insane and fucking served and goddamn and basically i love CSK and everyone in that team and i love life and i love sports and yeah

IPL 2025 Mega Auction Dates and Venue Announced by BCCI

IPL 2025 Auction Likely to be Held in Riyadh on November 24-25: The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction has always been a much-anticipated event, drawing global attention as teams battle to build the best squads. For the 2025 season, the excitement has reached new heights, with reports suggesting that the mega auction will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on November 24 and 25. Although the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to officially confirm the location, sources close to the matter indicate that Riyadh is the likely host city.

Franchise Retention Strategies and Key Highlights

All ten IPL franchises have submitted their retention lists, offering glimpses into their team-building approaches for the 2025 season. As teams retained their core players while releasing others, several prominent names have been added to the auction pool, increasing the competition and adding excitement for fans.

Retention Highlights Across Franchises

The franchises have retained 46 players, with a total investment of ₹558.5 crore. Notably, 36 of these players are Indian, including 10 uncapped Indian stars. Here’s a breakdown of major retention decisions:

Mumbai Indians – With five IPL titles, Mumbai Indians have built a strong Indian core by retaining key players like Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav. Tilak Varma, a promising young left-hander, also retained his place. Notably, Ishan Kishan, a talented youngster, was released, leaving MI with a ₹45 crore budget for the auction.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru – RCB has opted for a selective approach, retaining only three players: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Yash Dayal. Kohli commands the highest retention fee at ₹21 crore, giving RCB the second-largest auction purse of ₹83 crore.

Punjab Kings – Surprising many, Punjab Kings chose not to retain any capped players, focusing instead on young talent. They retained only two players, Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh, and hold the largest auction budget at ₹110.5 crore.

Rajasthan Royals – Rajasthan Royals solidified their batting lineup with strategic retentions, although they still seek an additional opener. With the smallest purse of ₹41 crore, RR enters the auction with a precise plan to strengthen its roster.

Chennai Super Kings – MS Dhoni will once again grace the IPL, retained by CSK as an uncapped player. CSK’s strategy combines experience with fresh talent, retaining Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and Matheesha Pathirana.

Top Players Entering the Auction Pool

With several renowned players left out of the retention lists, the 2025 auction pool includes high-caliber talent. Here’s a look at some of the notable players available for auction:

Released Indian Captains

The release of Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant has left three experienced Indian captains in the auction pool. Franchises seeking strong leadership may vie for these players, adding an extra layer of excitement to the auction.

England Players in the Auction

Interestingly, no England players were retained by any franchise this season. Major players like Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Harry Brook, Phil Salt, and Will Jacks will be up for grabs. Their release reflects teams’ concerns about availability, as these players missed parts of the season due to international commitments.

Young and Uncapped Talents

This year’s auction also features a number of unproven Indian talents, with ten uncapped players retained by various teams. These young players offer affordable options and the potential to evolve into match-winners, making them valuable assets in the auction.

Ahead of the IPL 2025 season, Chennai Super Kings CSK retained list, holding on to five key players for another shot at the title. Leading the pack are captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, both retained for ₹18 crore each. Gaikwad’s consistency at the top and Jadeja’s impact with both bat and ball make them indispensable to CSK's setup. The iconic MS Dhoni, despite being an uncapped player, has also been retained for ₹4 crore, continuing to lead the team with his unmatched experience and leadership qualities. In addition to these stalwarts, young Sri Lankan pacer Matheesa Pathirana has been retained for ₹13 crore, owing to his impressive performances with the ball, especially in the death overs. The dynamic middle-order batter Shivam Dube, retained for ₹12 crore, will also continue to play a crucial role for CSK with his power-hitting abilities. On the flip side, CSK has decided to release a few players, including Indian pacer Tushar Deshpande and New Zealand internationals Rachin Ravindra and Daryll Mitchell, as they look to fine-tune their squad for the 2025 campaign. With these retentions, CSK aims to build a balanced squad, blending youth and experience, as they chase their record 6th IPL title under the leadership of MS Dhoni.

[ad_1] Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma for MI and MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad for CSK (PC: X) They are the two most successful franchises in the IPL. Both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have won the title five times each, and as regards the retentions ahead of the 2025 mega auction, the tournament’s two biggest teams had clear-cut strategies. Unlike some other franchises, there was no late drama over certain players. Both CSK and MI management knew what they were doing. Chennai Super Kings Players retained: Ruturaj Gaikwad (Rs 18 crore), Ravindra Jadeja (Rs 18 crore), Matheesha Pathirana (Rs 13 crore), Shivam Dube (Rs 12 crore) and MS Dhoni (Rs 4 crore) What the retained players bring to the table: Stability, quality and a wealth of experience. The captaincy baton was passed from Dhoni to Gaikwad last season and by making the latter their top retention, CSK have given him a clear vote of confidence, a fallow 2024 notwithstanding. The biggest thing for the Chennai-based franchise is that Dhoni has decided to continue for one more season. The former CSK captain, the team’s guiding light, didn’t want to block a big amount of money to affect his franchise’s auction purse. The BCCI bringing back the uncapped player rule helped matters. As for Jadeja, apart from being a world-class all-rounder, he is ‘family’. Dube was in scintillating hitting form in the last IPL, while Pathirana is the team’s designated death bowler.

Mumbai Indians Players retained: Jasprit Bumrah (Rs 18 crore), Suryakumar Yadav (Rs 16.35 crore), Hardik Pandya (Rs 16.35 crore), Rohit Sharma (Rs 16.30 crore) and Tilak Verma (Rs 8 crore) What the retained players bring to the table: MI have managed to keep their band together. Last season was a period of ferment at the franchise, after Pandya replaced Rohit as captain. Issues have been taken care of and once again it’s a happy dressing-room. It is learnt that Mahela Jayawardene, who has returned as the team’s head coach, was of the view that Bumrah, Surya, Pandya and Rohit should get equal amounts. But Rohit felt that the current Indian T20 players deserve higher amounts.

Also, without Kishan, they will have to go for a good wicketkeeper. Players MI would like to buy back at the auction: Kishan and David would be high on the franchise’s list. Also, uncapped players like Naman Dhir, Nehal Wadhera and Ansul Kamboj. MI, however, have just Rs 45 crore remaining for auction.
