Regarding MS Dhoni’s future in the IPL, a lot of conjecture exists. Ruturaj Gaikwad took over as captain of CSK after Dhoni resigned in the 2024 Indian Premier League. Although there were rumors that Dhoni might eventually declare his IPL retirement this season, the seasoned player provided no concrete information. Though the IPL retention announcement is almost approaching, CSK has not received word from MS Dhoni regarding his availability for the IPL 2025.
“We have not heard from him yet. We will have a clear picture once the BCCI formally decides on the quantity of retentions, people close to the situation informed Indian Express.
MS Dhoni would be one of the players kept by the team if he is willing to participate in the IPL in 2025. However, Dhoni may choose to accept the lowest wage category in accordance with the IPL retention guidelines that the IPL governing council will develop. There was talk about reviving the old regulation that would have allowed teams to keep players who retired five years or more ago in the uncapped category during the August 1 IPL governing council meeting, but it’s unclear what BCCI’s position is currently. Once the BCCI releases the retention guidelines, a clear picture will become available.
According to the report, the Chennai Super Kings are eager to keep Ruturaj Gaikwad, Matheehsa Pathirana, and Ravindra Jadeja for the 2025 Indian Premier League. Along with bowler Mohammed Shami, the squad is also hoping to reintegrate R Ashwin into the lineup, according to a different RevSports Global report.

During IPL 2024, MS Dhoni appeared to be in a destructive mood. He batted in the last one or two overs and did not play many pitches, but he looked very much like the old him, hitting many boundaries. He struck out 73 deliveries for 161 runs at a remarkable strike-rate of 220.55.
