Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has completely ended in the playoffs in 2025. The team was ruled out of the tournament after a 4 -wicket defeat against Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Chepock Stadium on 30 April.
Negotiations between Dhoni and CEO
After the end of the match, there was a long conversation between captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan. Both this discussion took place on the ground, which was captured by the cameras. During this time, Dhoni was seen smiling, due to which the conversation is not considered serious but comfortable.
Was this Dhoni’s last season?
IPL 2025 may be Dhoni’s last season, there are constant speculations about this. This season, after the injury of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dhoni took over the captaincy but the team’s performance did not improve.

CSK out of top-4 for the second consecutive year
This is the first time Dhoni has not been able to become a part of Top 4 in the IPL for 2 consecutive seasons. Chennai’s team is currently at the bottom of the points table and the net run rate is also -1.211. The team has won only 2 matches in 10 matches so far.
Dhoni jokingly answered
Before the upcoming match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), when former kiwi fast bowler Danny Morrison questioned Dhoni about playing the next season, Dhoni replied in a light way, “I don’t know, I will play the next match or not.”
Battle of honor in remaining matches
Now Chennai Super Kings have 4 matches left in the tournament and the team will play to save respect in these matches. CSK’s next match will be played against Royal Challengers Bangalore at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on 3 May.
