IPL 2025 : The long-awaited IPL retention has here. Before the big auction for the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on October 31, all ten teams will disclose their roster of retained players. Several reports about a few teams are already circulating. However, five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) appear to have revealed their retained players in their latest social media post, sparking widespread curiosity among fans.
MS Dhoni, who last played for India in 2019, is poised to remain uncapped. He intends to enjoy the last few years of his cricket career and has the full backing of CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan. Dhoni recounted how he didn’t love cricket as a vocation during his career because there was so much at stake. He is now willing to play freely and enjoy the IPL for two and a half months, while spending the rest of the year with family.
“I just want to take advantage of the last few years of my cricket career. When you play cricket professionally, it’s difficult to enjoy it just as a game. That is what I am aiming for now. The emotions and commitments are tremendous, but I want to find joy in the game over the next few years. “I require to stay fit for nine months to compete in those two and a half months of IPL, so I must prepare while also relaxing a little,” said Dhoni at a recent event.
ICYMI, each club can keep a maximum of six players. Capped and uncapped players are limited to a maximum of five and two, respectively. MS Dhoni, a five-time IPL winner and former Chennai Super Kings captain, is likely to be retained as an uncapped player after the IPL Governing Council reinstated the rule that a capped player will be retained as an uncapped cricketer if he has not played a single international match in the last five years.
Dhoni’s final international match for India came in 2019 at the ODI World Cup in England. Apart from Dhoni, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul will be watched closely. While there have been suggestions that the Delhi Capitals may release Pant in order for the wicketkeeper to join CSK, there is a good chance Rahul would also be available in the auction.

Dhoni, 43, looked over the CSK captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad last season and took on a new batting position, typically coming in deeper down the order. This shift sparked debate about his future, as he focused on mentoring younger players. Dhoni recently addressed his present perspective during a promotional event in Goa, noting, “I just want to enjoy the last few years of cricket I can play.” Like when we were kids, we’d go out and play at 4 p.m. simply for the fun of it.”
