MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will make their on-field return against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday (May 20) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. With only 3 wins from 12 matches, CSK are at the last spot in the IPL 2025 points table anf they are already out of the tournament.

CSK's season will end after 2 more matches and the fans are expecting an official word on Dhoni's future. CSK head coach, Stephen Fleming was asked about Dhoni's future on the eve of the game against RR.

The veteran coach gave a three-word response to the query and said: "I don't know." Dhoni hasn't commented on his IPL future yet and the fans might only know to come about it before IPL 2026.

CSK retained Dhoni in the uncapped category for Rs 4 crore before the IPL 2025 mega-auction. The wicketkeeper-batsman returned to captaincy after 5 matches as Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out of the season due to a shoulder injury. Dhoni-led CSK have only managed 2 wins from 7 matches. The five-time IPL Champions will aim to avoid a last-place finish in the points table.

RR have 3 wins from 13 matches and they will play their last league stage game against CSK. A defeat could see them finish at the last spot. They are presently placed at the ninth spot in the points table.

With 9 wins from 12 matches, Gujarat Titans (GT) sit at the top spot in the points table. The Shubman Gill-led side has 18 points in its account. GT are favourites to finish in the top two.

They are followed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who have 8 wins and 17 points. RCB's game against Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out due to rain. They are followed by Punjab Kings (PBKS). GT, RCB and PBKS have qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs.
