MS Dhoni’s future in the IPL remains a mystery. Despite speculation about his retirement, the Chennai Super Kings captain has yet to make a decision about his participation in the 2025 season.
While there were rumors that Dhoni might transition to a mentor role, the franchise’s CEO has denied these claims. The decision on Dhoni’s future is still pending, and the team is awaiting his input.
Retention Policy Changes
The IPL 2025 mega auction is expected to have a different retention policy. The number of retentions may increase to five, and there will be no Right to Match (RTM) cards. However, these details are yet to be confirmed by the BCCI.
Dhoni’s Retirement Plans
MS Dhoni has been gradually phasing out of the game, having already given up the captaincy twice. While he returned to the role briefly in 2022, he has since handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad.
CSK’s Plans
Regardless of Dhoni’s decision, CSK is expected to acquire a new wicketkeeper in the upcoming auction. This suggests that the team is preparing for the possibility of Dhoni retiring or taking on a different role.
The Future of CSK
The decision on MS Dhoni’s future will have a significant impact on the Chennai Super Kings. As one of the most iconic players in IPL history, his presence has been a major factor in the team’s success. Fans will eagerly await the announcement of his decision.
