Chennai Super Kings Conclude IPL 2025 with Victory Amid Retirement Speculations for MS Dhoni
CSK's Final Match of IPL 2025
In what could be MS Dhoni's final appearance in IPL 2025, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wrapped up their season with an impressive 83-run win against the Gujarat Titans (GT). Despite finishing at the bottom of the points table, CSK managed to give their fans a reason to celebrate in their last game. For Dhoni's supporters, the most reassuring news was his decision not to announce his retirement.
During the post-match ceremony, commentator Harsha Bhogle playfully inquired if it was time for fans to start saying their goodbyes. Dhoni responded with a smile, offering a thoughtful yet vague reply.
Dhoni's Response on Retirement
Dhoni stated:
“I have 4-5 months to decide. There’s no hurry. I’ll go back to Ranchi, enjoy some bike rides, spend time with family. I’m not saying I’m done, and not saying I’ll come back. I have the luxury of taking my time.”
Dhoni praised Ruturaj Gaikwad, assuring him not to stress too much about the upcoming season. The 42-year-old cricketing legend, still beloved by fans across India, has left the door open for another year. Supporters are now hoping for one last adventure, possibly with a couple more trophies before he bids farewell.
Reflections on the Season
Regarding the team's overall performance, Dhoni remarked:
"It wasn’t a great one. But this last match was almost perfect. Our catching was finally good. At the start of the season, we played four games in Chennai and chose to chase, but the pitch was better for batting first. Our batting needed work. We had holes to fill.”
