MS Dhoni has not yet confirmed his availability for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. After CSK's unexpected exit from the group stage in IPL 2024, Dhoni has not spoken about whether he will participate in the next season. With the mega auction for IPL 2025 approaching, Viswanathan hopes Dhoni will provide clarity before the October 31 deadline for franchises to submit their retained player lists. «We have still no confirmation from him, though we will like him to continue playing for us. Hope he will confirm before 31st [October],» Viswanathan told ESPNcricinfo. CSK has the option to retain Dhoni as an uncapped player due to recent rule changes. The IPL has reinstated a rule allowing players to be considered uncapped even if they retired from international cricket five years ago. If Dhoni confirms his availability, he is likely to be retained by CSK as an uncapped player, which would cost the franchise Rs 4 crore from its Rs 120 crore budget.
