Everyone knows the rule has been changed for Dhoni sahab: Kaif

Speaking of Dhoni, his fans anticipate his participation in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League with bated breath. The wicketkeeper-batsman relinquished his captaincy at CSK in 2024 and is playing solely as a player. He had stated that he was awaiting the new retention rules by the BCCI ahead of IPL 2025 to decide on his comeback.

As it stands out, the apex board unveiled the new rules with six retentions including an uncapped retention. Dhoni, who last played an international game for India in 2019, fits the criteria for the uncapped retention and might enter the fray as an uncapped player after having represented India for 16 years. He announced his retirement from international cricket on 15^th August 2020.

"I believe the rule has been changed rightly. And Dhoni himself says, 'I don't need money, I'll adjust to whatever the team decides.' Even if he gets 4 crore as an uncapped player (Paise chahe 4 crore mil rahe ho as an uncapped player), it doesn't matter to him. It sounds strange to say because 4 crore isn't much for him. Everyone knows the rule has been changed for Dhoni Sahab, and why not, you will want to change the rule for a player like Dhoni,” Former India batter, Mohammed Kaif said as quoted by TOI.
