MS Dhoni has said that he will take time before making a decision on his future. The 43-year old led CSK to victory in their last outing in IPL 2025 in Ahmedabad but did not give a definitive answer to a question about what the future holds for him as a player.

"It depends, you know. Again, I would say the same thing. I have 4-5 months to decide. There is no hurry to decide," said Dhoni in the post-match presentation ceremony.
“Every year, it's 15% more effort. To keep the body fit. Not to forget this is top level cricket. It's professional cricket. You have to be at your best," he added.
