IPL 2025 Nears Conclusion with Dhoni's Future in Question
As IPL 2025 reaches its final stages, discussions surrounding MS Dhoni's retirement are intensifying. The 43-year-old cricketer is set to play what could be his last match, having scored 196 runs in 13 games this season. His team, Chennai Super Kings, has already been eliminated from playoff contention, and they will face Gujarat Titans in their final match tomorrow.
While May 25 may mark Dhoni's last appearance in the IPL, it will also be his final game as captain. Although he had previously stepped down from the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings, he was compelled to take on the role again due to the injury of regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. With Gaikwad likely to return as captain next season, tomorrow's match against Gujarat Titans could be Dhoni's last as the team's leader.
The match between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This game will not only be the season finale for Chennai Super Kings but also for MS Dhoni. There are lingering questions about his retirement from the IPL, as Dhoni has hinted at the possibility of playing in IPL 2026, although he has not officially confirmed this.
