The speculation surrounding MS Dhoni’s future in the Indian Premier League escalated after a video of Sakshi Dhoni seemingly mouthing “last match” to daughter Ziva during Chennai Super Kings’ match against Delhi Capitals went viral. Fans interpreted this as a hint that Dhoni may be playing his final IPL season or had already played his last match at Chepauk. Despite no official confirmation, the presence of Dhoni’s parents at the stadium added to the speculation. CSK suffered a 25-run defeat against Delhi Capitals, marking their third consecutive loss in IPL 2025. Dhoni’s unbeaten 30 off 26 wasn’t enough to secure victory. There were talks of Dhoni potentially captaining CSK due to Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury, but Gaikwad recovered in time. CSK attempted to quell retirement rumors with a cryptic meme on social media. With CSK struggling in the standings and emotions running high among fans, the uncertainty surrounding Dhoni’s future remains. Whether this was the end of an era for Dhoni at Chepauk remains to be seen, but the farewell vibe was evident.
