'I've played with Sachin paaji, and now playing with his son': Piyush Chawla jokes about outlasting MS Dhoni in retirement race

NEW DELHI: Veteran cricketer Piyush Chawla has hinted humorously that he might retire after former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Chawla, 35, remains active in the IPL and expressed his intention to keep playing for several more years.

On The Shubhankar Mishra Show, Chawla shared a light-hearted conversation with fellow cricketer Prithvi Shaw.

"A while ago, Prithvi Shaw told me 'Bas karo yaar ab PC bhai'. I said, I've played with Sachin paaji, and now playing with his son. I am playing with you, and after playing with your son, I will retire," Chawla said with a smile.

Chawla's remarks reveal his ongoing passion for cricket. Though no longer an international player, the two-time World Cup winner is still making an impact in the IPL.

When asked who might retire first, Chawla humorously pointed to his former India captain, MS Dhoni, saying, "Mahi bhai." Despite leaving international cricket, Dhoni also continues to play in the IPL like Chawla.

Both players are known for their longevity in cricket, continuing to perform despite their age. Chawla's comments suggest he plans to stay in the game for a while, entertaining cricket fans for more seasons.
