Speculation over Dhoni바카라™s future has intensified following a post, yet there remains no official confirmation about his retirement from the game.
Lately, Dhoni's performance has been a hot topic among fans and critics. This season hasn바카라™t started smoothly for the CSK star, with questions looming over his batting order, role, and overall impact, everything except his wicketkeeping.
At 43, Dhoni remains as sharp as ever behind the stumps, as evidenced by his swift dismissals of Suryakumar Yadav and Phil Salt in the ongoing IPL. However, his impact with the bat tells a different story.
The legendary wicketkeeper-batter has struggled to make a mark for Chennai Super Kings, who are languishing in the lower half of the points table after losing two of their first three matches.
On Tuesday, social media was abuzz as "MS Dhoni retirement" trended, sparking speculation about whether "Thala" had officially called it quits. Adding to the frenzy, posts circulating from MS Dhoni's Instagram handle claimed he had announced his retirement with immediate effect, leaving fans in a state of confusion.
However, it turned out to be nothing more than an April Fool's prank. There has been no official announcement from Dhoni or anyone else regarding his retirement after this season.
According to a MyKhel report, MS Dhoni is likely to continue playing until at least the IPL 2026 season. The former India captain has no plans to quit, as both he and the CSK management have immense faith in his abilities.
Back in February 2025, Dhoni gave fans a reason to believe he wasn바카라™t hanging up his boots just yet. He spoke about wanting to enjoy cricket the way he did in his early days, hinting that there was still some fuel left in the tank.
Since retiring from international cricket in 2019, the CSK legend has remained fully committed to franchise cricket, continuing to lead with his sharp tactical mind.
This season, CSK retained him for ₹4 crore, a significant drop from his previous ₹12 crore deal, but his value to the team goes far beyond numbers. While fans hope to see more of "Thala" in yellow, speculation is running wild that IPL 2025 might be his last dance. However, these are just rumors, with no official announcement yet.
