MS Dhoni may announce his retirement before IPL 2025

Mahendra Singh Dhoni may announce his retirement from the Indian Premier League before 2025. However, even before this, there have been many reports of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's retirement from IPL, but this time the matter is complicated. Actually, last year Mahendra Singh Dhoni handed over the captaincy of Chennai Super Kings to Rituraj Gaikwad. In such a situation, it was being speculated that this would be Dhoni's last year in IPL. But Dhoni did not make any such announcement after the season ended. However, now due to the mega auction, Mahendra Singh Dhoni can announce his retirement.

This could be the big reason for MS Dhoni's retirement

Regarding this year's mega auction, there is news that the IPL governing body may allow all franchises to retain four players before the mega auction. However, almost all the franchises are demanding that at least five to six players should be allowed to be retained. However, this does not seem to be happening. In such a situation, the Chennai Super Kings team can retain Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dubey, Mathisha Pathirana and captain Rituraj Gaikwad keeping in mind the next three-four years of the future.
