CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: As the Indian Premier League 2025 kicks off, fans are wondering — is this the final chapter for three of India’s greatest cricketing legends? Speculations are swirling that MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli could be playing their last IPL season, making this edition an emotional rollercoaster for millions of cricket enthusiasts.

MS Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings’ eternal captain and the face of composure under pressure, has already hinted at retirement in past seasons. With his age and limited appearances, this could very well be his farewell ride in the yellow jersey. Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai Indians stalwart and a five-time title-winning captain, is also facing questions about his long-term future in the franchise as younger talent rises.

Virat Kohli, the heartbeat of Royal Challengers Bangalore, continues to bring passion and power to the game. However, with his focus now shifting more towards international responsibilities and personal priorities, many wonder if this is his swan song in the red and gold.

Fans are treating this IPL season not just as a competition but as a tribute. Every six, every dive, every fist pump from these legends is being cherished like never before. Social media is abuzz with farewell tributes, emotional posts, and stadiums are filling up to witness what might be the last IPL hurrah for these cricketing icons.

While nothing is officially confirmed, the 2025 IPL could go down as a historic season — the end of an era that shaped the league into what it is today.
