[Watch] MS Dhoni spends quality time with his dog ahead of return to field for IPL 2025

Chennai Super Kings legend MS Dhoni was spotted having quality time with his pet dog in a new Instagram reel. The reel was shared on the official Instagram page of Dhoni's daughter Ziva.

Dhoni has been enjoying his time off the field after retirement from international cricket. He continues to be active in the IPL though, and will play for the Chennai Super Kings in the upcoming IPL 2025 tournament.

Less than three months remain before the first match of IPL 2025. MS Dhoni will likely begin his practice sessions soon, and ahead of the camp, he is enjoying his time at home with family and pets.

Ziva Singh Dhoni shared the following reel of his father with the dog and wrote:

"Home."

The video has beautiful piano music playing in the background as Dhoni uses the dog combing brush on his pet. The reel has already received 150,000 likes in just one hour.

Can MS Dhoni win his 6th IPL trophy in 2025?

IPL 2025 will reportedly start on March 14. The official schedule for the mega event is yet to be released, but the Chennai Super Kings have confirmed that Dhoni will play for them. The veteran wicketkeeper batter will play as an 'uncapped' player for the first time in his IPL career during the upcoming season.

Dhoni will be keen to help the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) win their sixth IPL trophy. The wicketkeeper-batter handed over the team's captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad ahead of IPL 2024. Despite making a stellar start to the competition, Chennai lost momentum as the tournament progressed and failed to qualify for the playoffs eventually.

It will be interesting to see if MS Dhoni can win the IPL trophy this year. If he manages to do so, he will become the first player to win the IPL trophy as a capped player first and then as an uncapped player.
