Before the auction for IPL 2025, the Governing Council of the Indian Premier League made a big announcement and released the retention rules. According to these rules, IPL teams can retain a maximum of six players and one of them must be uncapped. Apart from this, another rule has been implemented. According to which, Indian players who have retired five years ago or are not part of India’s playing eleven or who do not have a BCCI contract for the last 5 years can participate in the auction as uncapped players. Due to this rule, now MS Dhoni can play with Chennai Super Kings as an uncapped player.
This rule of IPL was removed in the year 2021, but it has been implemented once again. Chennai Super Kings team and their fans will be very happy with this rule. Actually, Chennai might be wanting to play MS Dhoni this season also, but if MS Dhoni plays as an uncapped player, it will cause huge loss to them. Let us explain it to you.
Dhoni will suffer loss

In that situation, MS Dhoni will have to cut his IPL salary by 66%. Actually, Chennai Super Kings had retained him for Rs 12 crore before the IPL 2021 mega auction, but this time if he is retained, then CSK will be able to give him a maximum of Rs 4 crore because according to the rules, an uncapped player cannot be paid more than Rs. Can be retained for more than Rs 4 crore.
