Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni
IPL 2024 was nothing special for Chennai Super Kings. The team had to be out of the playoff race of IPL 2024 due to its defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore in its last league match. After the defeat in this match played in Bangalore, the discussion about the retirement of former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni became very intense. It was believed that this could be MS Dhoni’s last IPL season, but Dhoni has not given any update on this issue. MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings fans want him to play one more season for his team. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan has said a big thing about him playing the next season.
What did the CEO of CSK say?
Regarding Chennai Super Kings star player MS Dhoni, Kasi Viswanathan said that he is hopeful that former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will participate as a player in the Indian Premier League 2025. In the current season, his team finished fifth under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad. There is speculation that this could be Dhoni’s last season in the tournament, who led CSK to a record five IPL titles, but Viswanathan admitted that it is entirely up to former Indian captain Dhoni to take a final decision on his future.
Responding to a question asked on CSK’s YouTube channel, Vishwanathan said that I don’t know. This is a question that only MS can answer. We have always respected MS’s decision. We have left it to him. He said in his statement that as you all know, he has always taken his decisions and announced them at the appropriate time. We hope that when he decides, then only we will know about it.
Decision has to be taken before auction
Vishwanathan said that we are hopeful that he will be available for CSK next year. These are the thoughts and expectations of the fans and me. Dhoni underwent surgery for knee treatment last year, he scored 161 runs in 73 balls this season and his performance behind the stumps was also good. The auction for IPL 2025 will be held later this year and if Dhoni remains, then there is no doubt that CSK will retain him. In such a situation, it will be decided before the auction whether MS will play for Chennai Super Kings next season or not.
