Talking about MS Dhoni being retained as uncapped player for ₹4 crore by CSK for IPL 2025, ex-India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar jokingly said even he is an uncapped player now. "This has been a reincarnation of Dhoni because this rule has been re-introduced only to bring him back," Manjrekar stated. CSK won five IPL trophies under Dhoni's leadership.
