Sanju Samson, like most Indian cricket fans, wishes to see MS Dhoni play for as long as possible. In a video shared by PTI Videos, Samson expressed his desire to watch the former CSK captain continue playing cricket.

I was thinking in my mind and when people keep talking about ‘when is he retiring?’ In my head, I was thinking ‘Thoda aur bhi hai’. That’s the example that I had in mind. Everyone here I think if you ask them the same question, I think the Indian mentality is to get ‘thoda aur,’" he shared at an event.

MS Dhoni is still playing for Chennai Super Kings, but his role in the team has changed a lot. Since the start of the IPL, he was the captain and the main wicketkeeper-batter, coming in to bat in the middle order.

After the years, he took on the role of the team’s finisher, while Ruturaj Gaikwad stepped in as captain. With injuries bothering him in recent seasons, many believed he would retire. The cricketing legend has yet to make an official announcement.

Sanju Samson has become an important part of India's T20I team as a wicketkeeper-batter but struggled in the recent series against England. He recently had finger surgery and is expected to return for the IPL, where he will lead Rajasthan Royals again. It’s unclear whether he will open the batting or stick to his usual No. 3 spot for the team.
