The discussion of MS Dhoni’s retirement in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has started again, when he batted at No. 9 in the match against RCB. Fans believe that this is the biggest downfall of his career, and now he should retire with honor.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has retained 43-year-old Dhoni, but this time he is playing as an uncapped player in IPL. But will this really be his last season? Let’s go!
Is Dhoni retiring after IPL 2025?
Till now Dhoni has not made any official announcement of retirement.
In an interview in February 2025, he said, “I want to enjoy this game like I used to in my early days.” It seems that he wants to play a few more years in IPL.
CSK has retained him for just Rs 4 crore, which is much less than his old salary of Rs 12 crore. Still, his leadership experience is considered priceless.
Sunil Gavaskar says, “Age is just a number for Dhoni!” Gavaskar says that Dhoni is still an expert in making fun and can contribute a lot in IPL.
After the match between CSK and Rajasthan Royals, a video went viral in which BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia gave Dhoni an ‘IPL 18 Memento’. This led to speculation that this could be his farewell gift!
But till now this is just a rumor, no official confirmation has come.
Reaction of fans: What are people saying?
There has been a mixed reaction from people on social media. Some fans say:
“Dhoni is batting at no.9, this is the lowest point of his career. He should take grateful retirement!”
“MSD is in IPL only because they have a huge fan following. Organisers are making money by using their name!
“Who is just watching the spectacle of CSK losing like Bhishma Pitamah, they should play in the top order.”
But Dhoni’s loyal fans are still with him and say that nothing is confirmed until Dhoni himself announces it!
Final Verdict: Will IPL 2025 be MSD’s last season?
No official statement has come yet! This is just speculation of fans and media.
If Dhoni continues for IPL 2026 as well, then who will be the most senior active player!
