MS Dhoni has remained silent on his IPL future and the fans are eagerly waiting for an update on him. Dhoni hinted at retiring from the T20 league by stepping down as CSK's captaincy before IPL 2024. He handed over the job to Ruturaj Gaikwad. A clear word on Dhoni's future with CSK will only be out when the Yellow Army unveils its list of retained players.
There are many capped wicketkeepers whom CSK can buy in the IPL 2025 auction if Dhoni calls it quits. As fans wait for an official word on Dhoni, here we have a look at 3 wicketkeepers Chennai Super Kings can buy to replace him if he retires –
Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant could be one of the wicketkeepers Chennai Super Kings can buy if he is part of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. Rishabh is among one of the best batsmen in international cricket and he has done wonders in IPL as well. Like Dhoni, Rishabh can serve CSK for more than a decade.
But he will only be part of the auction if Delhi Capitals (DC) release him. The DC captain has been part of the franchise since his IPL debut in 2016 and could continue his association with his home team.
Ishan Kishan

CSK have bid for Ishan Kishan in the past and they might once again aim to buy the wicketkeeper-batsman. Ishan replaced Dhoni as a regular wicketkeeper-batsman at Jharkhand in domestic cricket and he could do the same at CSK.
Mumbai Indians (MI) re-signed Ishan for a mega sum of Rs 15.25 crore in the IPL 2022 mega-auction but he hasn't done anything extraordinary. There are very high chances of MI releasing him.
KL Rahul
KL Rahul could be another wicketkeeper CSK could target. Rahul is one of the best wicketkeepers in IPL and he could be a perfect replacement for Dhoni at CSK. Rahul has been part of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) since IPL 2022 but is likely to get released. LSG did not play a final in three years under him and they could make a captaincy change. Rahul is an experienced campaigner and can fill Dhoni's shoes in the next few years.
