For Mahendra Singh Dhoni, there has been discussion for some time that this is the last season of IPL for the Chennai Super Kings captain and he will not play in this league after 2024. However, former India leg spinner Anil Kumble said that he would not be surprised if Dhoni plays in the 2025 IPL as he wants to remain with the team. Dhoni is currently preparing for the next season with the team. Dhoni comes to Chennai about a month in advance for the IPL. He does gym training by batting for about two to three hours in a humid environment. Meanwhile, he remained connected with the team. Kumble also compared Dhoni with great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Even though there are still a few days left in the tournament, Dhoni wants to remain associated with the team. Sachin was also always around the team. Even if there is an optional practice for the team, these two players are the first ones to board the team bus.
