MS Dhoni has dropped a massive hint on his future in the IPL (Indian Premier League). There has been a lot of talk on whether the former Indian captain would play in the upcoming edition of the IPL with reports of him being retained as an 'uncapped player' after the IPL 2025 retention rules were announced. MS Dhoni, needless to say, has been one of the central figures in Chennai Super Kings' success over all these years in the IPL and while the speculations over his future continue, the 43-year-old has made his intentions pretty clear. It is no secret that the Chennai Super Kings would love to have the services of their former captain for another season at least. Will MS Dhoni Play T10 Cricket?

The 43-year-old was speaking at a promotional event when he was quoted by The Times of India as saying, "I just want to enjoy whatever last few years of cricket I am able to play. When you play cricket like a professional sport, it becomes difficult to enjoy it just like a game. That's what I want to do. It's not easy. The emotions keep coming, the commitments are there. I want to enjoy the game for the next few years. I have to keep myself fit for nine months, so that I can play two and a half months of IPL. You need to plan it out, but at the same time chill a bit," he added. This definitely signals the fact that MS Dhoni will surely be participating in IPL 2025, in what is a big news for fans. MS Dhoni New Hairstyle Photos: Hairstylist Aalim Hakim Shares MSD's Latest Look on Instagram and It Is EVERYTHING!
