Chennai Super Kings have encountered a very disappointing IPL 2025 season so far. The five time champions lost three matches and are in dire need of a win against Punjab Kings on Tuesday, April 8.Dhoni's fitness has been a concern in IPL 2025. Speculations became very rife after the 43-year-old was seen in a strange posture while keeping the wickets. During the overs, he wasn't at his usual position and didn't fold his knees, which further fueled his fitness issues. The former CSK skipper was retained as an uncapped player and hasn't really fired up with his bat.Also Read: Rishabh Pant Doing a MS Dhoni - Fans Troll LSG Captain Over Batting Position vs KKR in IPL 2025Dhoni's retirement has been a hot debate this season and calls have been made after his underwhelming performance in a number of chases this campaign. He came under a lot of criticism and after the RCB match, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming made it clear that Dhoni is no more the agile player he used to be and cannot bat for 10 overs due to his age.Also Read: Who is Priyansh Arya, Punjab Kings Batter Who Blazed 39-Ball 100 vs Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025?As quoted by the Hindustan Times, he said, "Yeah, it's a time thing," Fleming said. “MS judges it. His body is, his knees aren't what they used to be. And he's moving okay, but there's still an attrition aspect to it. He can't bat 10 overs running full stick. So he will gauge on the day what he can give us. If the game's in the balance like today, he will go a little bit earlier, and he backs other players when other opportunities are up. So he's balancing that.”Maintaining fitness at this age becomes a very tricky job and without any kind of competitive cricket throughout the years it gets more difficult. Dhoni recently opened up on his retirement as he insisted he still will have 10 months after the IPL to take a call on his retirement. It remains to be seen whether the former Indian skipper calls it a day after the ongoing IPL campaign or he decides to keep the engine running
