"IPL Rule Changed For MS Dhoni, Will Keep Changing Till He Wants To Play": Mohammad Kaif

The Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council brought back the old rule that allowed franchises to register players who have retired from international cricket or not played in a long time as 'uncapped'.

The rule allowed all 10 IPL franchises to rethink their retention strategies, but many believe that the changes were brought in especially for the legendary MS Dhoni, with Chennai Super Kings now capable of retaining him as an uncapped player for a small price of INR 4 crore.

Though CSK claimed that they haven't had any discussion with Dhoni on the matter yet, former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has no doubts that IPL rules were changed simply because the organisers wanted Dhoni to continue playing. "You will get the chance to see MS Dhoni again.

He is fit, batting at a strike rate of 200, keeping well, and that is why I believe the rules will keep changing till he wants to play.
