Talking about MS Dhoni, his IPL career has been brilliant and he has been associated with CSK since the beginning of the season. Now all eyes are on what his future holds with CSK and he will play for his team this season.
It is a matter of great joy for his fans to lead CSK even at the age of 42. Given the uncertainty regarding Dhoni’s future in IPL 2025, Deep Dasgupta gave an interesting statement. The former wicketkeeper said in a video on his official X account that CSK could target Rishabh Pant as a replacement for their legendary captain MS Dhoni.
He feels that Dhoni and Pant have very similar thinking and he would not be surprised if CSK makes Pant a part of their team in IPL 2025. Dhoni and Pant like each other a lot and are also very close. Both have similar thinking and they are very aggressive and positive and also keep talking to each other a lot to win.
