There is sure to be a change in MS Dhoni’s salary in IPL 2025. MS Dhoni (Photo Source: Getty Images) MS Dhoni is one of those players who has participated in all the editions of the Indian Premier League. He became famous all over the world after leading the Indian team to the title in the 2007 T-20 World Cup. And Chennai Super Kings signed him for $1.5 million in the first edition of IPL. CSK made him the captain and the first three seasons were very good for the franchise. The team reached the final in 2008 and won in 2010. Before the 2011 auction, CSK announced Dhoni as their first retention. The franchise retained him for the next three years for $1.8 million. Dhoni shone this time too and after the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar, he became the poster boy of Indian cricket. By now he had become an integral part of the CSK franchise and Chennai Super Kings again announced Dhoni as their first retention ahead of the 2014 mega auction. After this, Dhoni earned Rs 12.5 every season till 2017. CSK may retain Dhoni as an uncapped player before 2025 mega auction However, there were doubts whether Dhoni would be CSK’s first retention ahead of the 2018 mega auction due to his advanced age. But the franchise showed confidence in him and named him as the first retention. In this way, for the next three years i.e. till 2021, Dhoni earned Rs 15 crore per season. After this, Chennai retained Dhoni, but in the interest of the team, he himself refused to accept the retention at first. That season, CSK declared Ravindra Jadeja as their first retention and he got Rs 15 crore. After this, Dhoni got Rs 12 crore as second retention. This was Dhoni’s salary till 2024 and it is expected to change in IPL 2025. There are reports that CSK may retain Dhoni as an uncapped player ahead of the 2025 mega auction. This means that the two-time World Cup winning captain will get Rs 4 crore. However, neither the franchise nor Dhoni has confirmed this. Now, official information will be revealed when CSK announces its retention on October 31.

IPL 2025: MS Dhoni will be CSK’s first retention: Harbhajan Singh
Dhoni has made CSK champion five times under his captaincy. MS Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter Harbhajan Singh on MS Dhoni: Harbhajan Singh, famously known as the former veteran spinner and turbanator of the Indian cricket team, has recently given a big statement about MS Dhoni. Harbhajan says that Dhoni is going to be the first name in the retention list of Chennai Super Kings (CSK). It is noteworthy that a mega auction can be seen for the upcoming season of IPL at the end of November. But before this auction, all the 10 teams have to submit the list of their retained players to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) before October 31, 2024. But meanwhile, Harbhajan’s statement has grabbed headlines. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Star Sports, Harbhajan said- I am not sure whether Dhoni will play or not, but if he is available, he will definitely be the team’s first choice to retain, even if He should be considered an uncapped player this season. Harbhajan further said- After Dhoni, CSK’s next choice will be Ravindra Jadeja and Rachin Ravindra. As far as captain Ruturaj Gaikwad is concerned, he is also sure to be retained, I believe that these four players will be retained. Apart from this, we can also keep Mathisha Pathirana in the team, who is an excellent bowler. If an uncapped player is retained, it could be a surprise choice, but it is possible that CSK will retain only five players. So in my view, the possible retentions are MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Rachin Ravindra, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Pathirana. Well, only after the retention list comes, it will be known which players have been retained by CSK? But it is certain that if Dhoni is available for the upcoming season, then CSK is going to be seen retaining him at any cost.
