Big update on Dhoni playing in IPL 2025

Dhoni will play the next season of IPL only if a special rule is implemented before the auction. According to a report by Cricbuzz, if the rule of retaining five to six players by the BCCI is implemented before the next season, then only Dhoni will play the next season. Let us tell you, at present, there is a rule of retaining only 4 players before the mega auction. In such a situation, if BCCI changes it, then Dhoni can be seen playing in the IPL once again.

In fact, Chennai Super Kings can retain captain Rituraj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Mathisha Pathirana and Shivam Dubey if there are four retentions. If a rule of more retention is brought in, then Dhoni can become a part of the team as the fifth or sixth retention. Whether BCCI will change this time or not, its decision will also be taken soon. A meeting is going to be held on July 31, in which all the team owners will be there along with BCCI. The final decision on this issue will be taken in this. Let us tell you, apart from Chennai Super Kings, many other teams want to increase the number of players to be retained in IPL.
