MS Dhoni, regarded as one of the best names and the most successful Indian skipper, has left an unparallel mark with his leadership, wicketkeeping and finishing skills. The 2011 ODI World Cup winner has already called time on his international career and is approaching the end of his IPL career as well. The former leader of Chennai Super Kings, fans’ beloved ‘Thala’, is in the last leg of his career, and might soon bring down curtains on his glorious trophy-filled IPL career.
Three reasons why MS Dhoni won't play in IPL 2025
Since players like him come once in a lifetime, and fans still want to see the Indian stalwart lead the Yellow Army, here are three reasons, IPL 2024 was his last season, and he won’t play in 2025.
Getting by the years
MS Dhoni turned 42 this year, and being one of the oldest players to continue playing in the IPL, Dhoni may consider stepping down. The Ranchi boy may leave the franchise to make room for younger and fresh talents who could lead the side to new glories. MS Dhoni’s retirement could also signal a strategic move for the franchise to invest in new names, for the team’s sustainability in the future.
