It has been a hot topic among fans whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni will return to play for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025. Under Dhoni's captaincy, CSK won the IPL title in 2023. Before this year's IPL season, Dhoni stepped down as CSK captain, appointing Ruturaj Gaikwad as his successor.

A mega auction is scheduled before IPL 2025, and the IPL Governing Council has met with the owners of all 10 franchise teams to discuss various topics, including the players retention rules. However, final decisions on player retention and the use of Right to Match (RTM) cards are still pending.

Right now, we don’t have the ball in our court, says MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni confirmed that his decision on whether he will play for CSK in IPL 2025 will largely depend on the retention rules.

"There’s a lot of time left for the franchises and management to decide on the retention rules and everything. Right now, we don’t have the ball in our court. When the regulations are decided, then we will be able to take a call. At the end of the day, we will have to make a decision that is best for CSK, and that is the ultimate goal," Dhoni said.

If MS Dhoni decides to retire as a player from IPL, it is expected that he might still be involved with the Chennai Super Kings franchise as a mentor. Should the IPL Governing Council announce retention rules that allow CSK to retain 5 or more players, Dhoni could potentially play for at least one more season with Chennai.
