It is still not sure whether Dhoni will play in the upcoming season of Indian Premier League next year. The two-time World Cup-winning former India captain carried a knee injury for the past two seasons but it seemed to have healed considering Dhoni’s running between the wickets towards the end of IPL 2024. Dhoni’s CSK got eliminated from the playoffs race after losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their final group game.

Earlier, Dhoni had passed on the captaincy baton to young Ruturaj Gaikwad just before IPL 2024. The Maharashtra cricketer did a decent job as CSK finished fifth in the table. Meanwhile, Dhoni had stated that keeping his fitness on point while not playing the whole year is a challenge for him.

“The toughest thing is… I am not playing cricket throughout the year. So I have to be fit. Once I come, you are competing against youngsters who are fit and playing international cricket,” Dhoni said on Dubai Eye 103.8 YouTube channel.

“Professional sport is not easy, nobody gives you a discount for age. If you want to play, you have to be as fit as the other guy. Age does not really give that grace to you. So, eating habits, a bit of training and all those things are there. Social media, thankfully, I am not on social media, so there’s less distraction.”
