MS Dhoni Leaves Fans Speechless In Mumbai Indians Jersey

One would probably have to consider Dhoni a free agent in the IPL if he were to ever catch an MI tank-topping in that totally friendly football match with his buddies. Dhoni is still forging that barefoot shot from miles away, with the MI logo well clear. What a surprising sight that would have been to set the mind thinking about his possible move if he played at all this season.

In 2025, he had stepped in for Ruturaj Gaikwad as CSK captain but could not deliver his team into the playoffs. There are indications of Dhoni willing to continue playing for CSK, at an advanced age. He is said to be going for at least one more season, in part willingly, because with N. Srinivasan being made chairman of CSK, it might just influence his decision.

It is a well-kind-of-known fact that Dhoni has an inclination toward football, and he has been seen many times in warm-ups and exhibition trials with football skills. The viral picture has been a source of two contradicting views, with one set considering the possibility of his move to MI, while the other disregards it as a casual wave.

With the tags of an icon in Chennai through his association with CSK, moving to MI looks far less probable. In IPL standard of his time, of course, he has those five titles to his name.
