Shah Rukh Khan has always been a big fan of MS Dhoni. At one time, the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders, wanted Dhoni on his team, but it didn’t happen. Now, with queries regarding Dhoni's future at Chennai Super Kings, Shah Rukh Khan has even drawn comparisons between himself and 'Thala.' The BCCI recently announced the retention rules for IPL 2025 ahead of the November mega auction. Under this, teams can retain six players and one of them has to be an uncapped player. It means an Indian player who hasn't played international cricket for five years can be retained as an uncapped player. This means MS Dhoni can play for CSK as an uncapped player in the IPL next year. Shah Rukh Khan joked about the legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni during an award show with Karan Johar. As they teased each other about retirement, then SRK mentioned Dhoni.

Thank you very much," Johar replied, "By that standard, aur us hisab se aap kyon retire nahi hote," Then, SRK responded with a clever and humorous reply, Actually main doosre kisam ka legendary hoon.
