Training at CSK Academy
Dhoni has been seen training in the nets at the CSK Academy, where he is fine-tuning his skills ahead of the upcoming season. As per the BCCI rules, retired international cricketers like Dhoni can be categorized as uncapped players, which allowed CSK to retain him for Rs 4 crore.

Addressing Concerns from IPL 2024
Before the start of IPL 2025, Dhoni is focused on rectifying the issues that arose during the previous season. In IPL 2024, he batted in the eighth or ninth position, raising questions about his role in the team. Despite scoring 161 runs in 14 matches at a strike rate of over 220, Dhoni’s knee injury sparked debates about his performance. This season, he aims to put those concerns to rest by fine-tuning his preparations and delivering an impressive performance.
