Punjab Kings have taken a brutal dig at Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni ahead of the upcoming season of Indian Premier League. It was an unusual post from the Punjab franchise as they posted something that wasn’t expected.
Recently, the retirement rumors of MS Dhoni went to another level when the former CSK captain was seen entering Chennai with a T-shirt with a morse code, which is a system of communication using dots and dashes. A user on the social media claimed that the Morse code suggests “One last time”.

Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings have played some memorable games against each other in the history of the IPL. Both teams have been there since the start of the league and have been involved in some scintillating contests against each other.
Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings have played 30 matches against each other. CSK have won 16 matches so far while Punjab Kings have 14 games. The difference between the two teams is not much and Punjab will look to close in soon.
Will MS Dhoni retire after IPL 2025?
MS Dhoni will be the oldest player to feature in the IPL 2025 edition. The legendary wicketkeeper-batter has been there from the league’s inaugural edition in 2008. He retired from international cricket in 2020 but is still an active player in the IPL.
Regarded as one of the greatest captains and finishers of all time, Dhoni has achieved tremendous amounts of success for CSK. He has led the franchise to a record five IPL title wins so far, which is the most alongside Rohit Sharma.
He is also the sixth-highest run-scorer in the history of the IPL with 5243 runs in 264 matches at an average of 39.12 and a strike rate of 137.53.
A few days ago, Dhoni indicated that he wants to enjoy the game in his final cricketing years and not think too much about retirement. While his retirement isn’t official yet, he will be aiming to leave IPL on a high.
