Will MS Dhoni consider coaching after retiring? Former player surprised with statement:

Chennai Super Kings performed disappointing in IPL 2025. Chennai Super Kings were the first team to be out of the playoff race for this season. She won just 4 in the match 14 matches this season and with eight points she stood at the bottom of the points table. This season, Chennai Super Kings were captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 9 matches.

After Rituraj Gaikwad was injured, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was given significant responsibility. However, despite this, Mahendra Singh Dhoni also could not leave his mark as captain this season.

Recently, former player Atul Vasan has made a big statement about Mahendra Singh Dhoni. According to the former player, Mahendra Singh Dhoni can play the role of mentor in future, but the responsibility of full time coaching will be very challenging for him.

Vasan said at the Bells & Better show on the OTTPlay, “I think he is suitable for a mentor, but for coaching, Dhoni does not have patience. Because, you know that if he becomes a coach, his lifestyle will continue in the same way as he would visit with the team, etc.

Vasan further said, “No, coaching is for those who are controlled, such as Gautam Gambhir, because they need importance, but advice is like ‘Come, sit, let’s eat together,’ and some players really contact you. So you do not need to be a mentor, but those who are close to you are going to be a mentor.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s performance in IPL 2025

Let me tell you, Dhoni scored a total of 196 runs in 14 matches in IPL 2025 at an average of 24.50. In this season, he failed to leave his mark in the captaincy as well as batting even though this season is out of the race for Chennai Super Kings Playoff, but he can be seen performing a bang in the 2026 edition.
