MS Dhoni, the legendary cricketer and former captain of the Indian cricket team, is expected to be treated as an “uncapped player” in the IPL 2025 auction. This classification may come into play if Dhoni, who retired from international cricket in 2020, continues to play in the IPL beyond the 2024 season.
Under IPL rules, players who have retired from international cricket but are still active in the league can be categorized as uncapped players during the auction process. This status could impact the bidding dynamics, potentially making Dhoni an attractive option for franchises looking to build their teams with experienced yet cost-effective players.
Dhoni, who has been an integral part of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) since the inception of the IPL, has led the team to multiple championships. His potential inclusion as an uncapped player would add an interesting twist to the 2025 auction, given his enduring popularity and impact on the game.
