Legendary former Indian captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is spotted playing Badminton with his peers in a recent video posted on social media. MS Dhoni is one of the most loved Indian cricketers and definitely India’s most successful captain ever.
He has won all three ICC trophies as Indian captain. Dhoni has taken retirement from International cricket but continues to play for CSK in the Indian Premier League. Meanwhile, a recent video has gone viral, in which MS Dhoni could be seen playing badminton.
Meanwhile, the fans adored his badminton skills and called his as multi-talented. Here’s a look at some of the reactions:
Dhoni was last seen on the cricket field during the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2024. He led Chennai Super Kings to their record 5th IPL title in the 2023 season. Ahead of the start of the IPL 2024, he stepped down from captaincy and handed over the reigns to Ruturaj Gaikwad.
In the last two seasons, Dhoni has played for the franchise while carrying a knee injury. He was often spotted excruciating with pain but played throughout the two seasons. In IPL 2024, Dhoni rolled back the years as he displayed his brutal finishing skills and played some important cameos in the tournament.
Chennai Super Kings want to bring back an old rule in the IPL 2025 Mega-Auction to retain MS Dhoni
In a recent meeting between the IPL franchises and the governing council, CSK proposed the BCCI to bring back a rule that was in place from IPL 2008 to 2021, but was scrapped as no franchise used it.
The rule states that teams can retain players who have retired from international cricket for over 5 years, as uncapped player. CSK wants to retain MS Dhoni as uncapped player using that rule and, thereby, can retain their core group of international players.

Despite not in the best of form, CSK would want to keep Dhoni because of his immense popularity and big hitting skills. Asked about his future in the IPL, he stated that he wants to take a look at the rules and regulations set by the BCCI for the upcoming IPL Mega Auction before taking a decision on his future. The BCCI is reportedly set to announce the rules by the end of August.
