With barely only six days left for all franchises to finalise and submit the retention list by all franchises for IPL 2025, still there has been no update on MS Dhoni’s participation in the upcoming edition.  Let’s know Will MS Dhoni play in IPL 2025.

IPL is indeed the biggest T20 cricket league in the world, and the craze of tournament’s star player, MS Dhoni, is no less than extraordinary.

Despite already being retired from international cricket in 2020, Dhoni continued to play in the competitive T20 league and was part of the CSK in the 2024 edition too.

Since the conclusion of IPL 2024, every day we see a rumour circulating around MS Dhoni’s participation in next year’s event, but there is no official confirmation of the same.

And with only six days left to announce the complete retention list, Dhoni’s undecided approach is creating suspense all over.

Will MS Dhoni play in IPL 2025?

As per a report by Sports Tak, CSK officials will likely to meet Mahendra Singh Dhoni on October 29 or 30. Dhoni has informed the franchise about his unavailability till October 28, and hopefully they will now meet on whether 1- or 2-day prior to the deadline of submitting the list of retained players before the mega auction.

MS Dhoni’s IPL 2024 performance and future

Dhoni is one of the most successful captains in international cricket and in IPL, having led CSK to record 5 IPL titles. He left the captaincy right ahead of the IPL 2024 and decided to hand over the charge to young Rututaj Gaikwad.

The wicketkeeper batter was outstanding with the bat in the IPL 2024 season, having scored 161 runs at a whopping strike-rate of 220.55 in only 8 innings while batting down the order. 

Given his ability to hit big and valuable suggestions to new skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad during fielding is important for the franchise.

The IPL mega auction is likely to be held on November 24-25 and Dhoni’s stand is essential for the franchise to prepare their final retention list.
