MS Dhoni to play for CSK in IPL 2025
Dhoni is all set to continue playing for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 next year after being retained by the franchise. CSK retained their former captain as an uncapped player for Rs 4 crore to ensure their overall purse was not hurt too much. Despite being 42, Dhoni remains a vital cog in the CSK line-up considering he is still the leader of the side.
Dhoni played with an injury for CSK during IPL 2024 but is expected to return fully fit for the new season next year. He will continue to keep wickets for the team and will be a guiding force on the pitch for CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, who will be into his second season as captain in the IPL.
Dhoni batted mostly below no.6 for CSK during IPL 2024 but played some vital cameos for the team and finished with 161 runs from 14 matches at a strike rate of over 220, including 13 sixes. With CSK lacking a power-hitter in the middle order, Dhoni’s form will be crucial to the team’s chances in IPL 2025.
