Ahead of the much-awaited IPL 2025 season, MS Dhoni visited the Deori Maa temple in Ranchi, Jharkhand, to seek divine blessings. A devout worshipper of the deity, Dhoni often prays at the temple before significant events. Fans eagerly gathered at the temple to catch a glimpse of their beloved ‘Thala.’
The 43-year-old former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain recently confirmed his participation in IPL 2025 despite fitness challenges. Honoring his commitment, CSK retained Dhoni as an uncapped player for INR 2 crore after the IPL governing body relaxed retention rules for retired players. Dhoni has already begun training at the CSK camp, signaling his readiness for the upcoming season.
Although Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad in IPL 2024, he remains an influential figure on the field. Often seen setting fields and guiding players, his presence continues to inspire the team. Dhoni will play as a wicket-keeper batter for CSK in IPL 2025, aiming to lead his franchise to another successful campaign.
Meanwhile, Dhoni’s immense fan following was evident at a recent Coldplay concert in Mumbai. During the band’s performance of their hit song “Yellow,” a die-hard CSK fan waved Dhoni’s iconic number 7 jersey in tribute to the cricketing legend. The heartfelt gesture showcased the enduring admiration and love fans have for Dhoni, even off the cricket field.
With his blend of devotion, preparation, and unmatched leadership, MS Dhoni is set to be the center of attention as IPL 2025 approaches. Fans eagerly await his return to the field.
