BCCI is reportedly planning to change a key rule for dhoni in the 2025 IPL series. Is bcci going to change the rules to allow dhoni to play for chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025? The question has also arisen. Let's see about it. The mega auction is going to be held before the 2025 IPL series. Each IPL team will retain only three or four players before the mega auction and will be forced to drop others from the squad. Earlier there was a rule that an IPL team could retain only four players. However, the CSK team demanded a change in this. CSK had spoken to bcci about this in the recent IPL owners' meeting. At that time there was a demand to allow at least five to six players to be retained.
The main reason for this is that CSK will not be able to retain dhoni if the bcci says to retain only four players. Because Ruturaj Gaikwad is the main player of that team, the team cannot afford to lose ravindra Jadeja, shivam Dubey, and Matheesha Pathirana. Hence, dhoni has asked the CSK team management to retain all four of them. dhoni has said that only if bcci gives permission to retain five players, he would be retained. That's what CSK told BCCI. Now it is reported that bcci will allow up to six players to be retained. With that, it is almost certain that dhoni will play in the CSK team in the 2025 IPL series. It is also said that bcci may have relaxed this rule for Dhoni.
If dhoni plays in the IPL series, his fans flock to any stadium he goes to. That makes it a huge advertisement for IPL. Not only indians but also foreign fans are watching this with amazement. rohit sharma and virat kohli also have more fans. But do they have fans at all the stadiums like dhoni has? If asked, I have to say that it is not as much as Dhoni. Recognizing this, the bcci is said to be allowing CSK to retain six players as desired. Other IPL teams are also happy about it. Teams like kolkata Knight Riders and rajasthan Royals have had 7 - 8 key players in their squad over the years. They feel that if they are replaced, the balance of the team will be lost. So, the decision taken by bcci is in their favor too.
