Will MS Dhoni play in IPL 2025 or not? This is the biggest question of the moment. Neither Dhoni nor the officials of Chennai Super Kings have revealed this secret yet. However, in the meantime, many such reports are coming out in which it is being told that CSK can retain Mahi as an uncapped player before the IPL 2025 auction. Yes, this is possible due to a rule of IPL and this rule is from the beginning of IPL. Dhoni is now 43 years old, he does not want to replace any player by being retained for a huge amount. In such a situation, if he is retained as an uncapped player, then CSK will not have to spend a huge amount on him.

According to a Times of India report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may include Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the category of uncapped players when it announces the players’ rules ahead of the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Since the inception of the IPL, there has been a rule that players who have retired from international cricket at least five years ago were placed in the uncapped category.
This means that retaining their former captain MS Dhoni will not be a very expensive deal for CSK. An uncapped player can be retained for Rs 4 crore. Let us tell you, CSK retained Dhoni for Rs 12 crore in 2022.

When CSK CEO Kashi Viswanathan was asked if Dhoni will be considered an uncapped player in the 2025 IPL auction, he said, “I have no information about it. We have not requested for it. They (BCCI) themselves have told us that there can be an ‘uncapped player rule’, that’s all. They (BCCI) have not announced anything yet. The rules and regulations will be announced by the BCCI.”
Let us tell you, the CSK management had insisted on this rule during the meeting between the IPL franchise owners and BCCI in Mumbai on July 31 last month.
