Even the great Mahendra Singh Dhoni seems unable to arrest the spectacular side of Chennai Super Kings, who succumbed to their fifth consecutive defeat of the new Indian Premier League season on Friday.
Speculation about Dhoni's retirement from the Indian Premier League T20 tournament was heightened by the presence of his family, including his parents -- a rarity.
The MA Chidambaram Stadium witnessed a rare and emotional moment as MS Dhoni’s entire family—wife Sakshi, daughter Ziva, and for the first time ever, his parents Pan Singh and Devaki Devi—gathered to support him during the IPL 2025 clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC)
“Dhoni is like my father, because of the support and the mentorship and the guidance he is giving me when I'm in CSK,” said the 22-year-old tearaway quick. “It’s very similar to what my father did in my home. That’s why I consider Dhoni my cricketing father.”
With ten franchises ready to battle it out for the coveted trophy, IPL 2025 promises to be a thrilling mix of seasoned legends, returning heroes, and emerging stars eager to leave their mark.
The palette has been served, and now it is up to Bangladesh to make their case.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India's captain for their first T20 World Cup triumph in 2007, praised the team for holding their nerve in a tense finale.
Rohit’s fifty played a big part in his team’s victory, the 42nd India win under his captaincy, seeing him surpass MS Dhoni for the most victories as India men’s skipper in T20Is.
The Tigers are yet to announce their 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, and should Shakib be selected, he would join Rohit as the only players to have competed in every T20 World Cup, sharing that honour.

“After my father, in my cricket life, he [Dhoni] plays my father’s role,” said Pathirana.
