Former India captain MS Dhoni continues to inspire both fans and cricketers alike, even after his retirement from international cricket in 2020. Indian pacer Khaleel Ahmed expressed his deep admiration for Dhoni, referring to him as his 'guru', and shared memorable anecdotes, including one where Dhoni entrusted him with bowling the first over during the 2018 Asia Cup and another where Dhoni passed him flowers from fans during a New Zealand tour. Speculation about Dhoni's future with the Chennai Super Kings persists, with the franchise denying any moves to retain him at a lower price. Dhoni last played in IPL 2024, and his potential return in 2025 remains uncertain.
