'Last Match': Amid MS Dhoni Retirement Rumour, Internet Speculates Sakshi Dhoni's Conversation With Ziva

The fans kept waiting for the thunderous sixes, helicopter shots, and mesmerising hits to the boundary from Mahendra Singh Dhoni. But they did not come on Saturday, as Chennai Super Kings lost another match in their den. The wait continued, MS Dhoni's bat failed to talk on this day and the legend trudged back to the dug-out as the social media erupted in disbelief, watching the man fade into the twilight.

MS Dhoni Retirement Speculation: Chennai Super Kings Coach Breaks Silence - "His Future..."

The internet went on overdrive on Saturday when the official broadcaster showed footage of Pan Singh and Devika Devi, MS Dhoni's parents, during the Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Chennai. It was the first time Dhoni's parents dropped in to watch an IPL game here since their son's association with CSK began in 2008. Dhoni's wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva too were in attendance, though they often attend IPL matches at Chennai.

MS Dhoni's parents Pan Singh Dhoni and Devaki Devi were in attendance at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. In fact, it was the first time Dhoni's parents dropped in to watch an IPL game here since their son's association with CSK began in 2008. Dhoni's wife Sakshi and daughter Ziva too were in attendance, though they often attend IPL matches at Chennai. Ahead of the match, there were rumours that MS Dhoni was going to lead the CSK side with doubts over Ruturaj Gaikwad's fitness status. However, Gaikwad is leading the side.

Chennai Super Kings are looking a pale shadow of their former self in the IPL 2025. The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side is yet to find a solid footing in the IPL 2025 and have lost two of their last three matches. While their top-order has blown hot and cold, barring Noor Ahmad none of the CSK bowlers have been consistent. CSK also have two veteran spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. While Ashwin has taken three wickets in three games, Jadeja has only one in three matches.

The IPL 2025 has seen quite a few stars taking a beating to their reputation. Rohit Sharma has not been in great form, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin have not been at their best touch while other reputed names have also not performed up to the potential. But what is happening to MS Dhoni is unthinkable. His position in the Chennai Super Kings XI is being questioned, especially after he came to bat extremely low down the order with CSK chasing in a couple of games.

CSK Served Brutal 'Playing XI' Warning After Loss vs Rajasthan Royals: " Don't Like..."

Chennai Super Kings faced brutal criticism from former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra after their loss against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025 on Sunday. CSK faltered in their chase of 183 and although skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a half-century, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and even MS Dhoni was dismissed on the first ball of the final over. With two losses in three games, CSK are currently seventh in the points table and Chopra was not happy with their team composition. He questioned the decision to include Jamie Overton in place of Sam Curran and also pointed out that the England all-rounder ended up bowling just two overs in the match.

MS Dhoni is 43 and is still playing in the IPL. While his impact in the role may not be the same as what it was a few years agro, his presence cant be ignored. Wherever Chennai Super Kings play, MS Dhoni fans crowd the stadium. The same was visible in Guwahati where CSK lost to Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. While RR had Assam's own Riyan Parag as captain, the fans of MS Dhoni were there in huge number too. Even the RR players showed huge respect as they removed their caps while meeting Dhoni.

MS Dhoni No Longer A Match Winner For CSK In IPL. These Numbers Prove

One of the finest finishers in the history of the game, MS Dhoni is a name that needs no introduction. Over the years, Dhoni has led many successful run-chases, both for Team India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, the last couple of years have seen Dhoni's role evolve into something completely different. Dhoni has rarely come out to bat above No. 7. In fact, in the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), he played as a No. 9 batter, a never-seen-before feat for the former India captain.
