The thought of MS Dhoni gracing the cricket field in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is a thrilling prospect for fans worldwide! As the heart and soul of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Dhoni’s presence brings a unique energy and confidence to the team. Despite his age, Dhoni’s performance has remained strong in recent seasons, contributing to CSK’s success. However, his future in the league may depend on various factors such as his personal decision, fitness level, and form.

Suresh Raina’s one-word response

Fans, however, would be hoping to see Dhoni continuing playing for CSK in IPL 2025, bringing his iconic style, calm demeanor, and unmatched experience to the pitch. Speaking about the same former Indian cricketers and Dhoni’s close friends, RP Singh and Suresh Raina expressed their views.

Raina has given a clear indication that Dhoni is likely to continue playing in the cash-rich league for another season. He simply said, “Khelenge” (Will play). This straightforward response came during a JioCinema commentary segment

RP Singh on MS Dhoni’s future

Just like Raina, Singh also reckoned that Dhoni might continue playing in the league beyond the current season. His observation implied that Dhoni’s performance and demeanor on the field do not give the impression that he is ready to retire from the IPL just yet.

“It doesn’t seem like this will be his last season,” said Singh.
