MS Dhoni IPL 2025 News: The craze for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and their legendary captain MS Dhoni in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is known to everyone. Every year, fans eagerly wait to see Dhoni step onto the field. As the IPL 2025 season is about to begin in less than a month, a new buzz has surfaced among CSK fans regarding Dhoni's future in the IPL. A cryptic message on his T-shirt has sparked intense speculation about whether this could be MS Dhoni's last IPL season.
The IPL 2025 season is set to begin from March 22, 2025, and Chennai Super Kings will play their first match on March 23, 2025. However, as soon as MS Dhoni arrived at the CSK training camp, his T-shirt caught everyone's attention. The black T-shirt he wore had a cryptic message written in Morse Code, which fans later decoded as "One Last Time" — indicating that this season could be his last in the IPL.
✅ Why Did Dhoni's T-shirt Create a Buzz?
During Chennai Super Kings’ training camp, MS Dhoni wore a black T-shirt with a Morse Code message written on it. Initially, it appeared to be just a random design, but after careful analysis, fans discovered that the message read:
“One Last Time”
This hidden Morse Code message has now intensified rumors that IPL 2025 might be MS Dhoni's final season. The cryptic message also raised speculations among fans and cricket experts, as Dhoni has already retired from international cricket on 15 August 2020. Now, fans are wondering whether IPL 2025 will mark the end of Dhoni’s IPL career as well.
✅ What Is Morse Code and Why Did Dhoni Use It?
The reason why MS Dhoni used Morse Code on his T-shirt has a deep connection with his love for the Indian Army. For those who don't know, Morse Code is a communication method developed in 1830-1840 by Samuel Morse, Leonard Gale, and Alfred Vail to transmit secret messages using a combination of dots and dashes. This method was widely used during wars and military operations to send coded messages.
How Does Morse Code Work?
| Symbol | Representation | Time Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Dot (.) | Short Signal | 1 Unit Time |
| Dash (-) | Long Signal | 3 Unit Time |
| Gap Between Letters | Short Pause | 3 Unit Time |
| Gap Between Words | Long Pause | 7 Unit Time |
Since MS Dhoni has a deep association with the Indian Army, he used this Morse Code to indirectly hint at his retirement from IPL 2025 through the "One Last Time" message.
