MS Dhoni to Continue Playing in IPL 2025, Confirms Suresh Raina

MS Dhoni, the legendary wicketkeeper-batter, continues to captivate the world of cricket with his unwavering presence and exceptional skills. Despite stepping down as captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of IPL 2024, the 42-year-old remains a dominant force on the field.

Dhoni's recent onslaught against Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya, where he smashed a hattrick of sixes, left fans and experts in awe. His ability to adapt to his age and set new benchmarks for the younger generation is a testament to his enduring legacy.

Amidst the ongoing IPL season, speculation about Dhoni's potential retirement from the tournament has been rife. However, former CSK batter Suresh Raina, now a commentator with Jio Cinema, has provided a resounding answer to the question of whether Dhoni will continue playing for CSK in IPL 2025.

"Khelenge (He will play)," Raina declared confidently when asked about Dhoni's future.

Former India pacer RP Singh, who was also part of the commentary panel, echoed Raina's sentiments, suggesting that Dhoni may have two more seasons left in him.

Raina also revealed Dhoni's reaction to Bhojpuri commentary, a language spoken in Dhoni's home state of Jharkhand. "MS Dhoni was discussing Bhojpuri commentary. He said, 'Bahut hi gajabe commentary kar rahe Bhojpuriya me.' (they are doing a great job in Bhojpuri) I told him Haryanvi is also nice," Raina said.

In the match against Mumbai Indians, Dhoni's blistering four-ball 20 proved crucial in CSK's 20-run victory. His ability to deliver under pressure and guide his team to success remains unmatched.

As the IPL season progresses, all eyes will be on Dhoni to see if he can continue his remarkable journey and lead CSK to another championship title. His presence on the field is not only a source of inspiration for his teammates but also a reminder of the enduring power of experience and determination.
