Dhoni will be seen in IPL

Despite distance from cricket, Dhoni’s craze remains the same even today. After retiring from international cricket and domestic cricket, now fans see him playing only in IPL. For the last few years, MS Dhoni’s appearance on the field has been limited to IPL only. In such a situation, fans are already very excited about IPL 2026.

According to reports, Dhoni is preparing vigorously for IPL 2026. Many videos of his practice at Ranchi’s JSCA Stadium recently went viral on social media. However, this time a question is constantly being raised whether this will be Dhoni’s last IPL. At the age of 44, due to an old knee injury and after leaving the responsibility of captaincy, there is speculation about Dhoni’s retirement.

Will 2026 be Dhoni’s last IPL?

Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming has already indicated that Dhoni’s cricket journey is now in its last stages. In such a situation, IPL 2026 is going to be very special and emotional for both Dhoni and his fans. Starting the New Year smilingly with his family is probably a relaxing moment for Dhoni before the big decisions to come.

Former captain of the Indian cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is known not only on the cricket field but also for his cool style and fan connection. Recently, a video of Dhoni went viral on social media, in which he gave an autograph on a fan’s bike. Then what happened, the value of the bike worth Rs 3 lakh was directly said to be Rs 3 crore!

Dhoni’s autograph becomes worth crores

These days Dhoni is spending time at his farmhouse in Ranchi. Meanwhile, a fan came to meet Dhoni with his Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. It can be seen in the video that Dhoni praises the bike and then signs on the petrol tank of this red colored Royal Enfield. As soon as Dhoni’s signature was received, the fan’s happiness knew no bounds. Lakhs of people watched this video on social media and while enjoying, a user wrote, “The bike of Rs 3 lakh has now become worth Rs 3 crore.”

At the same time, before leaving, Dhoni smiled and said to the fan, “Play and report.” This line is now trending on social media.

There was an uproar on social media

This video has been viewed more than 52 million times on the internet. This gesture of Dhoni won everyone’s hearts. Many fans wrote in the comments, “How lucky is that boy who got signed by Dhoni.” A fan page of MS Dhoni also reacted to this video and commented, “Ride with Mahi?”

Dhoni is a great collector of bikes and cars

Dhoni’s love for automobiles is not hidden from anyone. There is a big garage in his farmhouse in Ranchi, which has everything from vintage to superbikes. His collection includes many great bikes like Kawasaki Ninja H2, Confederate X132 Hellcat, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R, Harley Davidson Fatboy, Ducati 1098, Yamaha RD350, Yamaha Ambassador, Suzuki Shogun, BSA Goldstar and Norton Jubilee 250. Recently, Dhoni was also seen driving a vintage Rolls-Royce in Ranchi.

Mahi will be seen again in IPL

The good news for Dhoni’s fans is that he is not retiring yet. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO Kasi Vishwanathan has confirmed that Mahi will be seen on the field again in the next season. That means the magic of “Thala” will continue in IPL 2026 also.

MS Dhoni IPL Team Chennai Super Kings: As soon as the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) ended, the discussion started whether Chennai Super Kings star player Mahendra Singh Dhoni will play the next season of IPL or not. Whenever Dhoni was questioned on this issue, Mahi asked for some time to answer this question. But now CSK owner Kasi Vishwanathan has given a big update about MS Dhoni playing in the next IPL 2026.

What did CSK owner say about Dhoni?

IPL 2025 was nothing special for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and CSK. This season, Chennai Super Kings team stood at 10th position. Along with this, speculations also started about Dhoni’s retirement from IPL. But now the owner of CSK has put an end to all these discussions. Kashi Vishwanathan says that MS Dhoni will definitely play the next season of IPL.

A video has been shared from the YouTube channel of Provoke Lifestyle, in which a child questions the CEO of CSK whether Dhoni will retire soon. Then Kashi Vishwanathan replies that ‘Dhoni will not retire. I will ask him about this also and then tell you. Regarding the team’s performance in the next season, the CSK owner said, ‘We are making a strategy to win, but we do not know whether we will win or not’.

IPL 2025 was useless for CSK

Royal Challengers Bangalore team won its first title in IPL 2025. Whereas Chennai Super Kings stood at 10th position at the end. This season, runs were not seen even from MS Dhoni’s bat. Dhoni scored 196 runs in 13 innings of 14 matches played in IPL 2025 at an average of 24.50. Dhoni’s best score in the 18th season of IPL was 30 not out.

ODI Record: The role of a wicketkeeper in ODI cricket is not limited to just catching or stopping the ball. Many times a quick stumping changes the course of the match.

He gave a new fitness and fielding approach to the team. At that time the team was going through transition, the effect of which was visible in many matches.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni may be counted among India’s most successful and World Cup winning captains, but statistics show that while captaining in 200 ODIs, he has lost 74 matches. Due to his long career and playing more matches, his name comes second in this list.

However, under his leadership, India stopped being afraid of foreign soil and achieved many memorable victories. Ganguly’s captaincy taught the team confidence and aggression.

Sachin Tendulkar

‘Master Blaster’ Sachin Tendulkar had a brilliant career as a batsman, but his performance in terms of captaincy was not special. He took command of the team in 73 ODI matches, out of which 43 were defeated. The burden of captaincy also seemed to affect his batting performance.

Kapil Dev

This time Dhoni’s performance in IPL 2025 was not as expected. He scored only 196 runs in 14 matches and during this time his average was also 24.50. His team Chennai Super Kings (CSK) also stood at the lowest position. This is the reason that now speculation about his retirement has intensified.

At the moment, Dhoni has not announced any retirement, but it is certain that whether on the field or outside, Dhoni makes the headlines wherever he goes.

In the midst of this tournament, CSK captain Rituraj Gaikwad was injured and Mahendra Singh Dhoni got the command of the team. But even after changing the captain of CSK in IPL 2025, the team’s defeat continued. But only after the end of IPL 2025, the biggest question before CSK came whether MS Dhoni will play IPL next season.

MS Dhoni will retire from IPL?
