CSK: The entire credit for the success of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team often goes to Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Chennai Super Kings team has won 5 IPL titles. In such a situation, when Dhoni handed over the captaincy of the team to Ruturaj Gaikwad just before the start of the IPL 2024 season, the cricket supporters of Chennai Super Kings were also very disappointed with it.

Under the captaincy of Rituraj, the Chennai Super Kings team could not even qualify for the playoff stage of the IPL 2024 season. Due to which now some media reports are claiming that Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) can once again be seen playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as captain in the IPL 2025 season.

Dhoni can captain for one more season in place of Rituraj Gaikwad

Under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the performance of the Chennai Super Kings team was quite average in the season of IPL 2024.

In such a situation, it is now very difficult for Chennai Super Kings legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) to play as a player for the team in IPL cricket every season.

Due to which the team management wants to bid him farewell as a champion from IPL cricket as a player by asking him to captain the team for one more season. Due to which it is believed that Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) can once again captain Chennai Super Kings in the season of IPL 2025.

CSK will retain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as an un-capped player

Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) announced his retirement from international cricket in the year 2020 itself.

In such a situation, it is believed that Chennai Super Kings will retain Mahendra Singh Dhoni before the IPL auction 2025, but this time the franchise will be able to retain him as an un-capped player.

This is because according to IPL rules, if a player continues to play IPL cricket even after four years of retirement from international cricket, the franchise can retain him as an un-capped player in the fifth season.

Rituraj will also be a part of the leadership group

If you are a supporter of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and you feel that the Chennai Super Kings franchise will release a star player like Ruturaj Gaikwad to make Mahendra Singh Dhoni the captain, then it is not so.

The franchise will give the captaincy responsibility to Mahendra Singh Dhoni for one season as a gift only in view of the wonderful work he has done for the franchise. When Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) retires as a player after the IPL 2025 season, Ruturaj Gaikwad will once again become the captain of Chennai Super Kings.
