CSK have had a disappointing season so far in 2025 as they have been eliminated from the playoffs race already. They will look to play for pride and spoil the party for the other teams who aspire to qualify for the last-four stage.

Dhoni's participation in the IPL each year since 2023 has been quite uncertain, though the veteran wicket-keeper has shown no signs to slow down as he continues to give his all for the franchise.

With age not on his side, fans and experts speculate how much time Dhoni has left before he decides to hang his cricket gloves once and for all.
