MS Dhoni Ends IPL 2025 on a High, Keeps Retirement Speculation Alive

Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni has once again spoken out on his future in the IPL tournament. He addressed the question surrounding his IPL future, neither confirming nor denying retirement.

CSK had a disappointing IPL season, as they were the first team to be eliminated from the playoff race. However, they finished their season with a huge 83-run win over the Gujarat Titans on Sunday.

‘There’s no hurry…’

Before CSK’s final match, all eyes were on Dhoni and whether he would retire from the tournament. But the former Indian captain said that he is in no rush to decide and will take time to make his call.

“It depends,” Dhoni said of his future in the post-match presentation. “I have 4-5 months to decide, there’s no hurry. Need to keep the body fit. You have to be at your best. If cricketers start retiring for their performance, some of them will retire at 22.”

He also opened up about his plans post IPL, saying he would return home to Ranchi and decide on his future then.

“Will go back to Ranchi, enjoy a few back rides. I am not saying I am done, not saying I am coming back. I have the luxury of timing. Will think about it and then decide,” Dhoni added.

CSK’s Massive Win Over GT

Openers Devon Conway and Dewald Brevis smashed 52 and 57, respectively, helping CSK post a big target of 231. The bowlers then attacked GT’s batting order and stopped their innings at 147 runs.

Dhoni was happy that Chennai managed to end the season on a good note with an all-round show.

“Good to finish on a good note. This was one of the perfect performances from the bowling, batting and fielding departments. This was one game where the catching was also good,” he said.
