Off the screen, MS Dhoni continues to enjoy legendary status in cricket. Though he retired from international cricket in August 2020, he remains active in the Indian Premier League (IPL). His last competitive match was in May 2025 when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced the Gujarat Titans.

MS Dhoni, retained by CSK as an uncapped player, earned ₹4 crore last season. Beyond cricket, he holds the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Territorial Army, a title he received in 2011. Whether The Chase is a blockbuster film or a high-octane campaign, one thing is certain—Dhoni has once again managed to capture the imagination of millions, proving why he’s still “Thala” for a reason.
