43 -year -old MS Dhoni could potentially play his last game in the IPL as CSK takes to GT in its last group stage match.
We have once again reached the point of the year where there are questions and speculation about the future of MS Dhoni in the IPL. The CSK captain, who is the oldest unaccounted player in the league, has kept his card closer to his chest on the IPL, the only league he is currently active. As CSK IPL takes its final group of 2025 to GT in stage games, no one can help but wonder – is it Dhoni’s last dance?
Will MS Dhoni call it a day in IPL?
Let us take you back which Ms. said that when she was asked about her future a few matches first. He had said, “I don’t even know if I will play the next one.” what happened next? He has been depicted in all sports CSK has since played.
The report was previously revealed that Dhoni had informed the CSK management about his future. She said she is still ready to play another season as the team does not want to let its oldest player go, especially during an infection phase.
As far as Dhoni is concerned, on 8 May, he rejected any conversation around his retirement, saying that there was nothing for him now.
,This is the love and affection that I have met across, not to forget, I am 43 years old and I have played for a long time. They do not know when this will be my last year, it is a fact that I play only 2 months a year. This IPL ends, then I have to work for the next 6-8 months whether my body is capable of taking such pressure. Now there is nothing to decide, but the love and affection I get everywhere is excellent,“Dhoni said.
Do not make any mistake, Dhoni is not the person he was years ago. As stated by many experts, his awareness has reduced, he has trouble with his knees and is struggling to play against spin – something that has never happened before.
To make cases worse, he comes in batting very late. Somebody must have thought that Dhoni, with the injured Gaikwad, took over the reins of the team, CSK could revolve around his fate. However, it only finds back as a five -time champion at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table.
Dhoni had the right opportunity to sign a high note after leading the team for his record 5th IPL title in 2023. However, he returned to 2024, where he was denied a playoff spot by RCB. The next year, in this season, they are in rock bottom, with just three wins out of 13 matches.
From the retirement from tests to Odis, Dhoni has always surprised fans when it comes to declare his retirement. It can also be the same case for his IPL retirement. After all, a half fan of CSK wants him to continue, while the majority believe that it is a high time that he hangs his shoes. What will Dhoni decide? Well let’s wait until the end of the GT vs CSK.
