“R Ashwin discusses the potential for MS Dhoni to be viewed as an ‘uncapped player’ in the IPL 2025, stating, ‘It’s a major uncertainty…'”

Ravichandran Ashwin addressed the report of CSK advocating for MS Dhoni being named as an uncapped player for the 2025 IPL season.

There is a lot of conjecture around Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s future in the Indian Premier League (IPL). As the IPL seasons come to an end, concerns over Dhoni’s time with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been raised for a number of seasons.

By giving Ruturaj Gaikwad the skipper this year, CSK marked the beginning of a transitional phase and maybe a new chapter in the team’s history. Despite these adjustments, Dhoni has not disclosed his plans, leaving both analysts and fans in the dark.

In the midst of all of this, CSK allegedly advocated for the reinstatement of a particular rule that would have a big influence on Dhoni’s future with the team. It is rumoured that the team is pushing for Dhoni to be declared an uncapped player in the league. An international player would be eligible for the uncapped option up to 2021 if they had been retired for more than five years; however, this provision was eliminated when there were ten IPL clubs.

In the event that the regulation is changed to include Dhoni as an uncapped player, CSK would be guaranteed their famous captain in addition to having the option to recruit another Indian player to enhance their team and increase their prospects going forward.

Ravichandran Ashwin, the top off-spinner for India, has now discussed the article in depth and said that it should spark an intriguing discussion.

Will Dhoni be allowed to play without a cap? That raises a lot of questions. It’s a valid point. It has been a long time since he played cricket for a living. He’s no longer employed. He is an uncapped player, thus. On his own YouTube channel, Ashwin stated, “He is not a capped player.”

Can a player such as Virat Kohli play without restrictions? That is a topic for another discussion. Naturally, everyone will bring up Dhoni whenever someone brings it up.

Ashwin is an example of RR.
The off-spinner then made reference to the Rajasthan Royals, his own team, saying that they would “laugh” at every other team side in the league. if the retention count was raised.

For instance, I played for the RR in franchises. Give them seven or eight retentions, and the RR will make fun of every team. You may think of a long list of names since there are Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna, Trent Boult, and Shimron Hetmyer. Their core is set if you offer them these retentions. To obtain two or three players in the auction is sufficient, Ashwin said.
