WATCH: 'Main aur Dhoni ek kisam ke legends hai' - Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan compares himself with MS Dhoni during an award show

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has ruled the world of cinema for a long time and is often referred to as a 'legend'. While hosting the IIFA 2024, Shah Rukh went on to call his co-host Karan Johar, a legend in the movie industry, and asked him to retire as he has been working in the film industry for a long time now and has given some high-quality movies to the world. In return to Shah Rukh's request, Karan said, "By that standard, aur us hisab se aap kyon retire nahi hote?"

Shah Rukh went on to give a cheeky reply as always, and this time, he compared himself to cricketer MS Dhoni in a different way. He said, "Actually main doosre kisam ka legendary hoon. Main aur Dhoni ek kisam ke legends hai. Na na kar ke bhi 10 baar IPL khel jaate hai."

Shahrukh Khan - legends like Tendulkar, Chhetri and Federer know when u retire.

Karan Johar - so why don't u retire?

Shahrukh - MS Dhoni and me are different kind of legends, we play 10 IPL
after saying no.

The video went viral on social media after the retention policy of the IPL is released by the BCCI. MS Dhoni and Shah Rukh Khan have ruled the world in their respective fields and made India proud globally. While they have become old, the spirit of giving the best is still within them; hence, they haven't stopped thriving. 

CSK could retain MS Dhoni ahead of IPL 2025

The Board has released the retention policies, which allow the franchises to retain a maximum of two uncapped players. CSK will take full advantage of the policy as they can now retain MS Dhoni for the upcoming IPL 2025. Their main aim was to go for Dhoni at any cost but not BCCI made their way a bit easier. 

Apart from the franchise, the fan base would also want to see MS Dhoni back in action after a year. Dhoni hasn't come up with an official confirmation yet but it's speculated that the Super Kings franchise owners are pretty much interested in getting Dhoni as an uncapped player for the IPL 2025.
