Legendary cricketer MS Dhoni has thrilled his fans by being retained for the upcoming IPL 2025 season. This ensures that the former captain of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will don the iconic yellow jersey for at least another year. As the 18th season of the Indian Premier League draws near, fans are eagerly anticipating Dhoni’s return to action.
Ahead of the new season, Dhoni was spotted enjoying quality time with his wife, Sakshi Singh Rawat, and friends. A video of the couple dancing to a Pahadi folk song, a traditional tune from the hilly regions of northern India, has gone viral on social media. It’s heartwarming to see the couple embracing their roots, as both Dhoni and Sakshi hail from the Almora district in Uttarakhand.

In a sentimental move, CSK also reacquired Ravichandran Ashwin, who returns to the team after a nine-year hiatus. Ashwin’s homecoming is particularly special, as he is a Chennai-based cricketer, and his return to CSK adds further depth to the squad.
With MS Dhoni leading the charge, CSK fans are hoping for another memorable season as the iconic franchise aims to continue its legacy of success in the IPL.
