Prepend to the Content

Social media is full of discussions about MS Dhoni’s future in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Many fans are wondering if the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend has decided to retire before IPL 2025 ends. But is there any truth to these rumors?

Is MS Dhoni Retiring?

Recently, Dhoni’s performance has been a talking point. After Chennai Super Kings lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 50 runs on March 28, 2025, some CSK fans were unhappy. They questioned the team’s strategy and Dhoni’s batting position in the match.

Dhoni is not getting younger, and age has affected his fitness. This is why he has been batting lower in the order. However, he recently mentioned that he plans to play for a couple more years. This has led to confusion about whether he has changed his retirement plans.

Fact Check: MS Dhoni is Not Retiring

There is no official statement from MS Dhoni or his management regarding his retirement. The rumors about his retirement are mostly April Fool’s Day pranks.

One example is a post by a user on X (formerly Twitter). He jokingly said, “Happy April Fool’s Day to MS Dhoni fans, official members of the ‘Retirement Waiting Club’ since 2020.” This shows that the rumors are not true and were only meant as a joke.

MS Dhoni will want to finish his IPL career on a high note. As always, when he finally decides to retire, the news will come suddenly—just like his previous decisions as India’s captain. Until then, fans can continue to enjoy watching their favorite cricketer in action.
