MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli were part of India's 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy victories. Notably, they’ve also played against each other in high-octane IPL matches. Dhoni has guided CSK to five championships, while Kohli secured his first IPL title with RCB in the 2025 season.

MS Dhoni had a tough outing in the 2025 IPL season. The wicketkeeper-batter scored just 196 runs across 14 matches at an average below 25 and a strike rate of 135.17. Chennai Super Kings finished at the bottom of the table for the first time in their history, managing only four wins.

Dhoni had to step up as captain in the final nine matches after regular skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the tournament with an elbow injury.

There were knee concerns and questions about his future, but he was retained ahead of the season as an 'Uncapped Player' for ₹4 crore. Fans have been wondering whether 2025 was his final appearance in the IPL.
