The IPL 2025 clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) has sparked massive excitement, not just for the on-field action but also due to the big question looming over the match—**will MS Dhoni return as CSK captain in place of the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad?** Fans and analysts are eagerly waiting to see if the legendary skipper will once again take charge of the Yellow Brigade in what could be his final IPL season.  

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s Injury and Leadership Void

Ruturaj Gaikwad, who took over CSK’s captaincy from Dhoni before IPL 2024, has been a steady leader. However, a recent injury has put his participation in doubt, forcing the team management to consider alternatives. With the playoffs race heating up, CSK cannot afford instability in leadership, making Dhoni the most reliable option despite his reduced on-field role in recent seasons.  

The Dhoni Factor: Why Fans Want Him Back as Captain
 
MS Dhoni is not just a player for CSK—he is an emotion. Even in IPL 2025, where he has mostly played as a finisher and mentor, his tactical brilliance remains unmatched. If he steps in as captain, even temporarily, it could provide CSK with the much-needed boost in strategy and morale. His ability to handle pressure, make bold decisions, and inspire young players makes him the ideal stop-gap leader in Gaikwad’s absence.  

CSK’s Playoff Hopes and the Need for Stability
  
CSK has always been a team that thrives under strong leadership. With the tournament reaching its business end, every match is crucial. Delhi Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, will pose a tough challenge, and CSK needs a captain who can outthink the opposition. Dhoni’s return, even for a few games, could be the X-factor that keeps CSK’s playoff dreams alive.  

Will Dhoni Accept the Captaincy Again?
  
While fans are hopeful, Dhoni has been gradually transitioning into a mentorship role. He has repeatedly emphasized the need for younger players to take responsibility, which is why Gaikwad was handed the reins in the first place. However, if the team management and Dhoni believe that his temporary return as captain is in CSK’s best interest, he might just make a comeback—one last time.  

DC’s Challenge Against a Dhoni-Led CSK
  
If Dhoni does return as captain, Delhi Capitals will have to rethink their strategies. DC, under Pant, has been aggressive, but facing a tactician like Dhoni adds a different dimension to the contest. The battle between Pant’s fearless approach and Dhoni’s calculated moves could be the highlight of the match.  

Conclusion: A Nostalgic Moment Awaits
 
Whether or not Dhoni resumes the captaincy, his mere presence on the field electrifies the atmosphere. If he does take charge, even briefly, it will be a nostalgic moment for cricket fans worldwide. As CSK takes on DC, all eyes will be on the team sheet at the toss—will we see "Captain MS Dhoni" once again? The answer could define not just this match but also CSK’s entire IPL 2025 campaign.  

For now, fans can only wait and hope for one final masterclass in leadership from the man who made CSK the most successful franchise in IPL history.
