New Retention Rules Give CSK a Boost to Retain MS Dhoni

The IPL Governing Council announced the latest mandate regarding the league’s retention rules ahead of the 2025 mega-auction. One key aspect that concerned many CSK fans was regarding MS Dhoni’s retention with the franchise should he participate in the coming season.

CSK have been handed a massive boost with regard to the rules as Dhoni can be retained by the franchise as an uncapped player. The new rule suggests that Indian players who have not played international cricket for the past five calendar years can be retained as an uncapped player.
