MS Dhoni will make his IPL 2025 comeback as an uncapped player.
The 18th Indian Premier League (IPL) will see MS Dhoni don the recognizable Chennai Super Kings (CSK) jersey once more. Curiously, the renowned cricket star will be participating as an uncapped player this time. Cricket fans are anxiously awaiting his comeback to action after nearly a year, but questions still surround his fitness and whether he will be able to play in every game.
MS Dhoni recuperation and fitness following surgery
Notably, in July 2025, the former captain of India will turn 44. In June 2023, following his record-tying fifth IPL championship with CSK, he had knee surgery. He silenced his detractors by playing all 14 games in the 2024 Indian Premier League despite doubts about his fitness. In addition to playing in every match, MS Dhoni was a standout batsman, finishing with a remarkable average of 53.67 and a startling strike rate of 220.55.
In IPL 2024, he played his final competitive match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), which ended up being CSK’s season-ending match.
The much awaited return of MS Dhoni against the Mumbai Indians
When CSK plays their first IPL 2025 match against the Mumbai Indians, their bitter rivals, at Chennai’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, MS Dhoni will make a comeback. When the inspirational cricket player returns to the field, fans will be eagerly awaiting his arrival.
For the duration of the IPL season, will MS Dhoni be available?
Throughout CSK’s preseason training, the seasoned batsman-wicketkeeper has appeared to be in excellent form. In order to reassure supporters about his fitness, the team has released a number of films showing off his classic stroke play in the nets.
Even though injuries are a given in sports, Dhoni doesn’t seem to be experiencing any physical pain before the competition. His enormous fan base will be praying he stays healthy during the rigorous IPL 2025 schedule.
