As Chennai Super Kings (CSK) prepare for their opening match of IPL 2025, all eyes are on MS Dhoni. Earlier, the 43-year-old legend sparked retirement rumors when he arrived in Chennai wearing a T-shirt with the words “One Last Time” in Morse code. However, Dhoni has now broken his silence, saying neither he nor CSK are ready to say goodbye just yet.
Dhoni’s Emotional Connection with CSK
Speaking to Jio Hotstar ahead of CSK’s clash against Mumbai Indians, Dhoni shared his deep bond with the franchise. He joked that even if he were in a wheelchair, CSK would still convince him to play. Dhoni also mentioned that he can play for CSK as long as he wants, showing his unwavering commitment to the team.
Last season, Dhoni battled a knee injury and underwent surgery after IPL 2023. Despite stepping down as captain and batting lower in the order, he made a strong comeback, scoring 161 runs in just 73 balls at a stunning strike rate of 220.
Dhoni and Jadeja on the Verge of Records
In CSK’s opening game, Dhoni has a chance to make history. He needs just 19 more runs to surpass Suresh Raina as CSK’s highest run-scorer in IPL history. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja is close to becoming CSK’s leading wicket-taker, needing only eight more wickets to overtake Dwayne Bravo’s record of 140 wickets.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Dhoni can create more magic this season. With his legendary status and CSK’s unwavering support, IPL 2025 could be another unforgettable chapter in Dhoni’s incredible career!
