As the speculations for the highly awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction, it has come into the limelight that heavy clouds are looming on MS Dhoni’s potential retention by Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to announce the player retention rules ahead of the forthcoming auctions. In what would be a huge breather for the franchises, recent reports have revealed that the regulatory body could give out a clear picture of the number of players that can be retained as well as whether the right-to-match (RTM) will be used or not.

It is worth noting that Dhoni is currently in the United States of America (USA) and there is still no official confirmation from him whether he will feature in the upcoming IPL edition or not.
