In the final game of the 2025 IPL season for the Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni’s side outdid the Gujarat Titans by 83 runs on Sunday.
It was a perfect end to an imperfect season, where CSK blasted 230/5 in 20 overs and then let GT score just 147 runs.
With four wins in 14 IPL games, CSK finished 10th (bottom) of the IPL table. It is not something the CSK fans have seen happen many times.
In most seasons, they play in the playoffs. Dhoni was asked about his future after winning the game on May 26.
He said: “It’s good. I won’t say it was houseful today. We didn’t have a good season, it was one of those perfect performances. We haven’t caught very well, but the catching was good today. It depends. I have 4-5 months to decide, there’s no hurry. Need to keep the body fit. You have to be at your best. If cricketers start retiring for their performance, some of them will retire at 22.”
MSD will take five to six months to examine his fitness before thinking about taking part as a player in the next IPL.
But in 2026, he will be 44 years old. There is no question over his ability as a wicketkeeper. But that magical touch from the bat is missing.
