Aalim Hakim reveals new short and sharp look of MS Dhoni

Working on MS Dhoni , celebrity stylist Aalim Hakim works his magic to reveal a fresh, crisp appearance that has fans buzzing. Dhoni seems significantly younger after the makeover, which fuels rumours about his IPL 2025 preparation. This reinvigorated look suggests Dhoni's excitement and readiness for the next cricket season, thereby preparing the ground for an explosive comeback on the pitch if retained by the CSK in the upcoming IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.

On September 28 the BCCI unveiled the IPL player rules for the 2025 to 2027 seasons with much expectation. One important guideline is that “a capped Indian player will be classified as uncapped if they have not played in the starting XI in International Cricket (Test, ODI, or T20) in the five calendar years prior to the season, or if they do not hold a Central Contract with the BCCI.”

Reversing this regulation has elicited conflicting responses. Although it was included into the league's initial structure, clubs did not make use of it, so it was eliminated in 2021. Some experts and supporters feel that this control is being reinstated, especially for Dhoni.

Whether MS Dhoni will come back to play for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 is still unknown. Should he decide to return to the IPL , the 43-year-old legend may be kept by CSK uncapped for ₹4 crore.

Last representing the national squad at the 2019 ODI World Cup , the former India captain announced his August 2020 retirement from international cricket.
