IPL 2025 is less than two months away. The preparations are in full swing. Recently, MS Dhoni was also spotted preparing for the upcoming edition. A picture went viral where Thala was all padded up and hit the nets. 

Captain Cool is eyeing to break all IPL records this edition and eye his 6th IPL title as a player to level with Rohit Sharma and Ambati Rayudu for most titles in IPL history. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that CSK enjoys a great legacy in IPL, but Dhoni has enjoyed greater success. 

Why MS Dhoni Will Play IPL 2025 Final?

There is a strange pattern associated with MS Dhoni that hints at why he and CSK will reach the IPL 2025 finals, and this article will decode that. 

IPL started in 2008, and MS Dhoni has played every season. Notably, CSK missed two seasons - 2016 and 2017, but Mahi featured for Rising Pune Super Giants for those two season. 

Now, if we look at every season of IPL, then there haven't been two consecutive seasons where Dhoni has gone by not playing an IPL final. Now, CSK failed to reach the playoffs in IPL 2024 and going by this pattern, then MSD and CSK will play IPL 2025 final. Here is how Dhoni has performed in every IPL season. 

Looking at the above pattern, MS Dhoni is yet to go two consecutive seasons without playing a IPL final. Thus, it is to be seen whether MSD will extend the pattern or the streak will come to an end in the upcoming season, which is also potentially the last for thala in his cricketing career.
