Former Indian cricket team captain and finishing master MS Dhoni has recently put forward his point of view about his future in IPL with Chennai Super Kings. It is worth noting that Dhoni has been an important part of the CSK team since the inception of IPL, and he has also made the team champion five times under his captaincy. So, when captain Ruturaj Gaikwad was out of the tournament due to an elbow injury in IPL 2025, Dhoni once again took charge of the team.
However, this season proved to be a difficult one for the team, with CSK finishing bottom of the points table for the first time in their history, winning only four of their 14 matches. But despite this disappointing performance, Dhoni’s recent remarks are being seen as a sign of his continued involvement with the franchise even after his playing days.
MS Dhoni made a big statement
Let us tell you that in a recent private event, Dhoni was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying – Me and CSK, we are together. You know, even for the next 15-20 years. I hope they don’t think I will play for the next 15-20 years! But yes, I will remain with the team.
Dhoni said about the declining performance of the team in the last few seasons of IPL- Yes, the last few years have not been good for us. We have not been able to perform as expected. But it is important that you learn. Yes, you had a bad season. But what went wrong? And the same question was in front of us last year as well.
