Dhoni is tight-lipped..!? good news for CSK fans soon..!?
Will dhoni participate in the 2025 IPL series? The decision will be known in a few days, reports have leaked from the team sources that dhoni and CSK executives are going to meet in mumbai in the second week of October. A mega auction is set to take place before the 2025 IPL series. Before that, each team could only retain a maximum of six players. Also, many complicated rules have come into force this time. However, a rule change has been made to declare dhoni as a local player so that chennai Super Kings can retain him without any problem.
Accordingly, dhoni, who has not played international matches for the last five years, will be declared as a local player. By doing so, CSK will retain him for a lower salary. This will allow CSK to spend the remaining money on buying other players in the auction. Can dhoni play all matches in IPL 2025? There is no doubt that can he show his full potential in the IPL at the age of 42 now. Can you stand and bat for a long time? Is he ready to do wicketkeeping? There are doubts that dhoni participated in the 2024 IPL series with a swollen leg. Therefore, there is a possibility that dhoni will be signed by CSK for a lower salary and used only as an impact player.
It is also said that bcci has changed the rules for dhoni as per the plan that if dhoni plays then the IPL series will get more viewers. At the same time, dhoni is going to talk to CSK officials about participating in the 2025 IPL series. The team is expected to retain him at the end of it.
