Legendary skipper MS Dhoni found himself in a bit of controversy after he refrained from commenting on India’s recent Champions Trophy 2025 triumph.

The Men in Blue clinched the coveted ICC title by beating New Zealand in the final on Sunday (March 9) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. It was the first Champions Trophy title for India since Dhoni lead them to victory in 2013.

In a video doing rounds on social media, Dhoni was asked by a reporter about India's win but he refused to answer.

The former India wicketkeeper gestured the journalist to go away as he made his way out of the airport.

Here’s the clip:

Notably, MS Dhoni will turn up for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the upcoming IPL edition, slated to get underway on March 22. It could be his last season in the cash-rich league.

Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction, BCCI introduced the uncapped player rule, allowing franchises to retain Indian cricketers who haven’t played international cricket for the past five years.

CSK made the most of this rule as they retained Dhoni for INR 4 crore. Having last played for India in the 2019 World Cup, the 43-year-old fulfilled the eligibility criteria.
