Watch: Shah Rukh Khan Hilariously Compares Himself to MS Dhoni Amid Retirement Talk
Shah Rukh Khan’s witty comparison of his career to MS Dhoni’s IPL legacy.
During the IIFA event, Shah Rukh Khan delivered a humorous take on retirement when co-host Karan Johar asked him about his future plans. The Bollywood superstar, known for his wit, likened himself to cricket legend MS Dhoni. He joked, “Main aur Dhoni ek kisam ke legends hai. Na na kar ke bhi 10 baar IPL khel jaate hai” (Dhoni and I are the same kind of legends—we keep playing even after saying no).
Shah Rukh Khan – Legends know when to retire like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Chhetri, Roger Federer

Karan Johar – so why don't you retire

This playful remark has gone viral, with fans enjoying SRK’s light-hearted comparison to Dhoni, who continues to play in the IPL despite retiring from international cricket in 2020.
In related news, the BCCI recently announced rules for the IPL 2025 auction, allowing franchises to retain six players, including one uncapped player. A unique rule now allows Indian players like MS Dhoni to be classified as uncapped if they haven’t played in the starting XI of an international match for five years. This means Dhoni can potentially be retained by Chennai Super Kings for ₹4 crore, adding another layer of intrigue to his ongoing IPL journey.
