Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the legendary former India captain, has once again fueled retirement rumors—this time with a cryptic message on his t-shirt!
As he arrived in Chennai on Wednesday to prepare for IPL 2025, fans quickly noticed something special about his outfit. Written in Morse code, the message read: “One Last Time.” Within minutes, the internet exploded with emotional reactions, with many speculating that this could be Dhoni’s final IPL season.
Dhoni’s Special Message: “I Want to Enjoy Cricket Like a Child”
Just last week, Dhoni spoke about his love for the game while launching his new app. He shared how he wants to enjoy the remaining years of his cricket career with the same excitement he had as a kid.
“I’ve retired from international cricket since 2019, so it’s been a while. Now, I just want to play cricket like I did in my childhood—pure fun, no pressure,” Dhoni said.
Dhoni to Play IPL 2025 as an Uncapped Player?
In an interesting twist, the BCCI has reinstated a rule that allows players who haven’t played international cricket for five years to be considered “uncapped” at the IPL auction. This means Dhoni, at 43, could be available as an uncapped player if he decides to continue playing beyond 2025.
With Chennai Super Kings set to kick off their season against Mumbai Indians on March 23 at Chepauk, all eyes will be on Dhoni. Will this really be his final IPL season? Fans will have to wait and see!
