New Delhi. Every season from the Indian Premier League, a question is on everyone's tongue. Has Mahendra Singh Dhoni play in this tournament for the last time. He will announce his retirement by playing this season. The current season of IPL is also asking the same question. Till now no one knows anything about this whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni will go to play in the next season or this time will announce retirement.

This is a question that the legendary captain of Chennai Super Kings will be tired by answering. For the last few seasons, wicketkeeper-batsmen have been returning to the IPL for their franchise. Even if there is speculation about his retirement. Age, however, has caught the former Indian captain and its effect is visible on his fitness. It seems that the brilliant game of one of the best cricketers in India is moving fast towards its end.

This question also becomes important because CSK's performance in the ongoing IPL 2025 has been poor. For the second consecutive time, they have not been able to qualify for the playoffs. This happened when he became the champion by defeating Gujarat Titans in the final under Dhoni's captaincy in 2023. Last season, CSK entered a new era when he formally declared Ruturaj Gaikwad as Dhoni's successor. Dhoni decided to withdraw the team from the captaincy after winning five titles.

If I had got the team that was selected, then it would not be out of the IPL… Rishabh Pant blamed on whom

In the current season, Gaikwad suffered an injury to the elbow and was dropped from the rest of the season. The command of Chennai once again came into Dhoni's hands. Despite starting his campaign with a victory against Mumbai Indians, CSK's performance was poor and Dhoni's return could not change his luck.

T20 World Cup winner Joginder Sharma has now advised his former Indian and CSK partner to retire. Joginder told news agency ANI, “Looking at Mahi's fitness, it seems that he should play to prove his fitness but I think the time has come to rest.”

The answer of Chennai Super Kings came on the retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, which everyone knew, coach Fleming gave information

Joginder threw him a memorable 20th over against Pakistan in the final of the 2007 T20 World Cup. In this, India was made the champion by defending 13 runs. At the beginning of this season, Dhoni himself indicated that it could be difficult to return to the next season because now he has to spend a lot of time to prepare himself. IPL is the only tournament that he plays after retiring from international cricket in 2020.
