Five years ago, when MS Dhoni suddenly retired from international cricket at 7:29 pm on August 15, the eyes of millions of Indian fans were filled with tears. Now the same restlessness has returned once again after changing the date. The reason? A silent alarm, which is ringing in the hearts of Dhoni fans.

Will Dhoni retire from IPL on 5 April 2025? These speculations are being made because MS Dhoni’s parents have come to watch the dc vs csk match today. Let us tell you that in Dhoni’s 20-year cricketing career, he has come to the stadium for the first time to watch Mahi’s match.

Is it now the turn to say goodbye to IPL?

Dhoni, who has been playing only IPL for the last five years, has been in the circle of speculation about his retirement with every season. Especially when in 2023 he won another title for Chennai Super Kings. Then it seemed that now he would retire from IPL as well. But Thala surprised everyone by deciding to play one more season. But something happened in the fourth match of IPL 2025 which forced the fans to think again. For the first time, Dhoni’s parents came to the stadium to watch the match.

Before the start of Chennai Super Kings’ match against Delhi Capitals, when the anchor revealed in the Jio-Hotstar show that Dhoni’s parents have come to watch this match live. So this news immediately spread like fire on social media. Then when the camera showed them sitting in the stands. So the hearts of the fans sank. There is speculation on social media that is this Thala’s last match?

Such an opportunity came for the first time in 20 years

Dhoni made his international debut in the year 2004. In the year 2007, he became the captain of Indian cricket and surprised everyone by winning the T20 World Cup in the very first tournament. But during such a big career, his parents never came to watch him play live in any stadium.

MS Dhoni’s relationship with Chennai

Since 2008, the relationship between CSK and Dhoni has become such that it is not just between the captain and the team. Rather it has become between a city and its hero. But his parents suddenly coming to the stadium for the first time in so many years, it does not seem to be a mere coincidence.

So will Thala say thank you and goodbye now?

This is the question in the minds of the fans. There is no confirmation but the atmosphere is saying something. If this is really his last IPL match or season. Then believe me, 5 April 2025 will also be included in the same list in which 15 August 2020 is there.
