Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals at Chepauk
The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) continues with strong fan engagement. On Saturday, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) faced Delhi Capitals (DC) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk. A rare moment from the match drew widespread attention — MS Dhoni's parents were seen at the venue.
Dhoni’s Parents Make a Public Appearance
Dhoni’s parents, Pan Singh and Devaki Devi, who rarely appear in public or at cricket matches, were spotted in the stands. This unusual appearance has gone viral on social media and triggered renewed speculation regarding Dhoni’s future in the IPL.
Retirement Rumors Resurface
Speculation about Dhoni’s potential retirement has resurfaced. Similar discussions occurred during the previous IPL season, but Dhoni continued playing, energizing fans. Addressing such talks, Dhoni recently said, “Chennai Super Kings is my franchise. I want to play for CSK for a long time. If I am in a wheelchair, they will drag me away.”
Leadership Transition at CSK
Dhoni last captained CSK in 2023, leading the team to its fifth IPL title. With that, Chennai surpassed Mumbai Indians in overall championships. Since the 2024 season, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been leading the squad.
Captaincy Change Rumors Ahead of DC Match
There were reports that Dhoni might take over as captain for the match against Delhi Capitals, especially as Ruturaj was reportedly injured. However, those rumors were dismissed when Gaikwad took the field, confirming his availability.
