A new chapter in Dhoni’s retirement
While many may have wondered how Dhoni would spend his retirement from international cricket, he has embraced this new phase of life with open arms. Recently spotted enjoying family vacations in Thailand and now in Rishikesh, Dhoni appears to be relishing every moment. His recent retention by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for the IPL 2025 season as an uncapped player for INR 4 crore further indicates that while he may have stepped back from international duties, he is still very much involved in the cricketing world.
Dhoni’s role with CSK will be pivotal; although he is not officially captain anymore, his experience and leadership will undoubtedly guide the team. The franchise has built a balanced squad for the upcoming season, and Dhoni’s presence will be invaluable as they aim for another title.
Excitement builds for IPL 2025 reunion of Ravichandran Ashwin and Dhoni
The excitement surrounding IPL 2025 is palpable, especially with the return of key players like Ravichandran Ashwin to CSK. Ashwin expressed his eagerness to reunite with Dhoni, reflecting on their shared history and mutual respect. Having started his IPL journey with CSK back in 2008, Ashwin’s return adds another layer of anticipation for fans who remember their successful partnership on the field.
The newly reinstated uncapped player rule has allowed CSK to retain Dhoni at a fraction of what other players might cost. This strategic move not only underscores CSK’s commitment to keeping their beloved captain but also enables them to allocate resources effectively for acquiring new talent during the mega auction.
