IPL 2025 Auction: The possible return of the ?Uncapped Player Rule? ahead of next year's IPL 2025 has been a highly discussed topic among cricket experts and fans across the globe, as the return of this rule might allow CSK?s former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni to continue playing the IPL for a few more years.



According to some news reports, the five time IPL winners had reportedly requested the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) to bring the uncapped-player rule back, which let?s a player who has retired from international cricket for a minimum of five years get retained as an uncapped player by the IPL franchises. This rule was introduced in the inaugural edition of the cash-rich T20 league in 2008 before being removed in 2021. If this rule makes a comeback ahead of IPL 2025, then Chennai Super Kings can retain the services of the legendary MS Dhoni till IPL 2027, and getting retained as an uncapped player will mean that CSK?s salary cap will not get affected?as?well.



However, CSK?s CEO Kasi Viswanathan has denied asking the BCCI to bring the Uncapped-player rule back. He went on to say that the Indian Cricket Governing Body had let the five time IPL winners know that they themselves are planning to bring the rule back.



?I don't have any idea about asking the BCCI to bring the uncapped-player rule back. We didn't request that they bring it back. The BCCI themselves informed us and the other franchises that the Uncapped-player rule may get reintroduced. They haven't given any concrete confirmation regarding the rule making a comeback ahead of IPL 2025,? Kasi Viswanathan told Times of India?s Gaurav Gupta in?an?interview.

In accordance with the previous rules of retention, an uncapped player can get retained by an IPL franchise for a maximum price of 4 Crore Indian Rupees. In the mega auction of IPL 2022, the Yellow Army had retained MS Dhoni as a capped player for 12 Crore Indian Rupees. Dhoni helped the franchise lift the IPL trophy for the fifth time in 2023.



However, just a few days before the beginning of IPL 2024, the legendary skipper announced that he would step down as the captain of the Chennai-based franchise, and opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad would take over the leadership duties from him. Under the leadership of Gaikwad, the Men in Yellow ended IPL 2024 in fifth place in the league phase of?the?tournament.



MSD played some really entertaining and fabulous cameos for CSK in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League and ended the tournament with an outstanding strike rate of 220.55 next to his name. The Super Kings fans will want their Thala to play one more season in the IPL before calling a day on what has proven to be a really legendary?career.

The legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all set to take part in the 18 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Indian fans will once again get the opportunity to witness him play in the Yellow jersey once again. 
He got retained by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a price tag of 4 crore Indian Rupees and fans cannot wait to see him play in the IPL again. 
While he had a good IPL 2024, managing to score 161 runs in 14 games at a really good average of 53.67 at a monstrous strike-rate of 220.55, his exploits weren't enough to help the Chennai based team lift the IPL trophy for a record 6th time. 
Many also believe that the upcoming edition of the IPL is going to be the final season of MSD and it will indeed be a really emotional moment for Cricket fans across the globe. 
Ahead of IPL 2025, the 43-year-old is close to creating history as he has a chance of breaking three magnificent records in the 18th season of the tournament. Let's take a look at them
<h2>Chance to become the oldest player to score a half-century in the IPL</h2>
MSD is currently 43-years-old. To be precise, 43 years and 194 days old. If the former CSK skipper slams a fifty in the upcoming season of the IPL, then he will become the oldest player ever to slam a fifty in the history of the tournament. 
The legendary Adam Gilchristun who played an amazing beaten knock of 85* runs versus the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2013 currently holds the record of being the oldest player ever in the tournament's history to score a fifty. 
Dhoni is at the 2nd position in this list, having slammed a fifty at the age of 40 years and 262 days old versus the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022.
<h2>Chance of becoming the highest run getter for CSK in the IPL</h2>
Dhoni is on the verge of becoming the highest run getter for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the history of the IPL. Currently, Suresh Raina holds that record, having amassed a total of 4,687 runs for the franchise. MSD though needs just 18 runs to break this record. It's worth noting that the former skipper of the franchise had already managed to score 4,669 runs for the Yellow Army. 
<h2>Dhoni has a chance to become the only player to effect 200 dismissals as a wicketkeeper in the IPL</h2>
The Legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni so far in IPL career has effected 190 dismissals as a wicketkeeper. He is at top of the list of the wicketkeepers to have effected the highest number of dismissals in the history of the competition. If he manages to dismiss 10 batters from behind the stumps, he will become the first player to achieve this feat in the IPL. Currently, among the wicketkeepers playing in the IPL, Rishabh Pant has dismissed 90 batters from behind the stumps. Thus, if Dhoni dismisses 10 more batters from behind the stumps, he will likely be the only wicketkeeper to achieve this feat.
