MS Dhoni touched down in Chennai on February 26, 2025, ahead of Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) pre-season camp for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The CSK icon’s arrival has once again energized fans as they eagerly anticipate his participation in the 2025 edition, set to begin on March 22. Dhoni, who has been an integral part of the franchise sinceꩲ the tournament’s inception, was greeted with enthusiasm at the🎐 airport as he made his way to join the squad.
The veteran wicketkeeper-batter remains a central figure for CSK despite stepping down as captain before𒀰 the 2024 season. With the franchise retaining him for INR 4 crore under the uncapped player rꦓule, excitement continues to build around what could be another memorable season for the Chennai-based side.
Retirement rumors ignite after fans decode hidden message on MS Dhoni’s T-shirt
Speculation about Dhoni’s future in the IPL reached new heights after fans spotted a cryptic message on his T-shirt upon arrival. The Morse code design on his shirt was quickly deciphered to read “ONE LAST TIME,” spark﷽ing widespread debate over whether the 2025 season could be his farewell campaign.
This mysterious hint has left the cricketing world buzzing, given Dhoni’s history of surprising fans with unexpected announcements. His sudden Instagram post in 2020 that confirmed his international🐈 retirement remains fresh in memory, and many now wonder if a similar move is on the horizon for his IPL career.
🌼However, some believe it might just be a coincidence or a playful gesture from the CSK legend, known for keeping fans on their toes. Dhoni had earlier stated in🌟 February 2025 that he wants to continue playing “like a child” for as long as possible, leaving the door open for more seasons beyond 2025.
