One of the biggest questions heading into the IPL 2025 auction is whether MS Dhoni will return for another season. The legendary captain has hinted at retirement multiple times, but with CSK retaining its core squad, the possibility of one last hurrah for Thala cannot be ruled out. If Dhoni does play, CSK has a golden opportunity to retain him for just ₹4 crore, making it one of the smartest moves of the season. His leadership, experience, and ability to finish matches remain unmatched, making his return a dream scenario for Chennai Super Kings fans.
