Few days after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ended IPL 2025 at the rock bottom of the points table, MS Dhoni was seen relaxing by doing fishing. A photo of him wearing a t-shirt with the words “Duty, Honour, Country” quickly went viral and caught fans’ attention. The message on the shirt showed Dhoni’s strong love and respect for the Indian Army. MS Dhoni enjoying the fishing after the IPL 2025. 🔥 [Kush Mahi] pic.twitter.com/koDKiMleTh — Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) May 29, 2025 Chennai Super Kings had a worst season this year with just 4 wins in 14 matches. It was the team's first-ever last-place finish on the table, despite being one of the best teams in IPL history. MS Dhoni became captain after Ruturaj Gaikwad was injured and missed the season. Dhoni contributed 196 runs with a strike rate of 135.17 and an average of 24.50, but most supporters were of the opinion that he should have come in higher up the batting order.

He has an honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Territorial Army. In 2011, he was conferred with this honor, and in 2019, he even trained as a paratrooper and deployed with the Victor Force for 15 days in Kashmir. There was speculation that Dhoni is retiring from the IPL. But after the last match of CSK, he did not confirm anything. He revealed that he would take 4–5 months off to check how his body would feel before making a decision on his future.

He mentioned that the team would be better-balanced next year. Gaikwad had to sit out IPL 2025 because of an elbow injury, so that's why Dhoni captained the team this year. CSK ended the season with a win in their last league game at Ahmedabad and it was a kind of victory that will surely act as a morale booster for the ones coming back next season.
