Will ms dhoni play in ipl 2026: IPL 2025 for Chennai Super Kings remained like a nightmare. Five -time champion CSK became the first team to be out of the race for this season playoffs. After Rituraj Gaikwad was injured, MS Dhoni once again had to take command but he too could not change the fate of CSK. Before registering Jitan in the last match, CSK lost 4 consecutive matches under Dhoni’s captaincy. After this, it was being said that MS Dhoni will take retirement from IPL after this season, but now the report that has come out will make CSK and Dhoni’s fans happy.

Franchise sources of Chennai Super Kings are confident that Dhoni will continue to play even after IPL 2025. According to a report by the Times of India, there are many shortcomings in the team, which are difficult to keep away, so MS Dhoni cannot be allowed to go out of the team at this time.

Chennai, who is going through its bad phase, is once again going through a change. CSK 9 out of 12 played in IPL 2025 so far, this includes losing 5 consecutive matches and then 4 consecutive matches. Which is his worst performance ever in the history of IPL. This has made a big change in the CSK’s approach, which includes many young players in place of the players who are injured during the season.

Due to the presence of many young players in the team, the presence of Dhoni, who has won 5 trophy to the team as a captain, will be important in bringing CSK to the new era. In such a situation, Dhoni cannot be allowed to leave the team.

Dhoni had earlier told that he does not yet know whether he would play in the next season or not. He has said that it will depend on his fitness, because he plays IPL only 2 months in a year. Mahi said before the season begins, “I am 43 years old and by July I will be 44 years old. I have 10 months to decide whether I have to play another year or not. It is not deciding it, this is the body that tells you whether you can play or not.”
