Dhoni was recently seen in Madurai as the former Indian captain arrived at the Tamil Nadu city to inaugurate a cricket stadium. People flock to the stadium in large numbers as the 44-year-old came out of the Madurai airport heavily guarded. Dressed in a black t-shirt and blue jeans, Dhoni hops into the car waiting for him outside the airport.

Dhoni hasn't played competitive cricket since leading CSK in IPL 2025. In the absence of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the five-time IPL-winning captain led the franchise throughout IPL 2025.

MS Dhoni Has Been Synonymous With CSK In IPL

Dhoni was retained for a mere 4 crore in IPL 2025, due to the BCCI's new policy. It stated that an Indian player will be considered uncapped if they have not played any international match or held a BCCI central contract for the last five years.

There have been rumours regarding his IPL retirement, but the player has remained tight-lipped about his future. He happens to be IPL's most capped player and his retirement remains a subject of curiosity. Dhoni has amassed 5439 runs in 278 IPL matches so far and stands 6th in the IPL all-time run scoring list.
