Former Indian captain MS Dhoni has once again left fans speculating about his future with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. As he arrived in Chennai on February 26, keen-eyed fans spotted a Morse code message on his t-shirt, which, when decoded, appeared to spell “ONE LAST TIME”—suggesting that this could be his final IPL season.
Decoded Morse Code Message
Fans on social media were quick to break down the message seen on Dhoni’s t-shirt at Chennai Airport. The Morse code read:
When translated, this aligns with:
- ONE | — -. .
- LAST | .-.. .- … –
- TIME | – .. — .
This has fueled speculation that Dhoni, who has been at the helm of CSK since IPL 2008, could be playing his final season in IPL 2025.
Dhoni’s Future with CSK – A Final Chapter?
At 43 years old, Dhoni has remained one of the fittest players in the league, but retirement rumors have been swirling for years. After leading CSK to their fifth IPL title in 2023, many believed that could have been his farewell. However, Dhoni returned for IPL 2024, playing through injury while leading CSK to the playoffs.
Earlier, Dhoni had said that the love from fans and his commitment to CSK keep him going. He also admitted that preparing for the two-month-long IPL takes at least 6-8 months of training.
Prepping for IPL 2025
Dhoni has joined CSK’s pre-season training camp in Chennai well ahead of the IPL 2025 opener on March 21. While no official announcement has been made regarding his future, fans believe that this subtle Morse code message might be Dhoni’s way of confirming that this is indeed his swansong season.
