MS Dhoni’s Retirement Rumours Grows Amid IPL 2025 Drama
Dubela, Amritangshu Paul: MS Dhoni has been in the spotlight during the ongoing IPL 2025 season, due to several reasons. The legendary cricketer, playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), batted unusually low at No. 9 during their match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Fueling retirement speculations further, a viral video from CSK’s match against Delhi Capitals on April 5 at Chepauk showed Sakshi Dhoni seemingly telling their daughter Ziva “last match,” as interpreted through lip-reading. Adding to the emotional weight of the occasion, Dhoni’s parents, Pan Singh Dhoni and Devaki Devi, were spotted in the stands for the first time, watching him live, accompanied by granddaughter Ziva.
Amidst all this, CSK posted a cryptic meme on X (formerly Twitter) captioned “no context,” which fans familiar with the franchise’s social media humor quickly linked to the emotional undertones of the evening. Meanwhile, CSK suffered a 25-run defeat against the Capitals at the Chepauk. They are languishing at the bottom half of the table with three losses on the trot.
