” The IPL 2025 mega auction may take place in December, with Chennai Super Kings potentially looking for a new wicketkeeper amid speculation about MS Dhoni’s retirement. “
BCCI has put in all its efforts in preparations for IPL 2025. Mega auction may be organized in December this year. Mega auction will be organized for the first time after IPL 2022. All eyes will definitely be on CSK and what changes will happen there. The biggest question will always be about MS DHONI. Will he continue to play next season? Last season he left the captaincy and Rituraj Gaikwad took over. We can see a lot of changes in CSK next season.
The biggest possibility is that DHONI may finally retire from IPL after years of speculation. There have been many reports that Dhoni may be retained by CSK. A rule is going to return in IPL. A player can enter as an uncapped player after 5 years of retirement. However, contrary to reports, former Chennai captain MS DHONI may retire.
If Rishabh Pant replaces DHONI, CSK may also think about a change in captaincy. Rituraj Gaikwad was made the captain during the IPL 2024 season, but the team could not reach the playoffs under his captaincy. This was only the third time in CSK’s history that this happened. If the franchise is successful in getting Pant on board, it can also make him the captain. ( PLC & GT )
