Although there is a discussion over MS Dhoni’s international future, he is all set to lead Chennai Super Kings in next year’s IPL. N Srinivasan, the owner of IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings, has confirmed the news.

Dhoni and his retirement saga

Dhoni was expected to make a comeback after his two-month sabbatical leave for the home T20I series against South Africa. But he once again made himself unavailable for the selection as chief selector MSK Prasad had confirmed. In Dhoni’s absence, Rishabh Pant is being groomed by the management to take charge of the wicketkeeping role for the future. Dhoni was last featured in the World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand. Then he took a break from the game to serve the Indian army. The way Virat Kohli showed his faith in Dhoni, it is clear that it will be Dhoni’s final call on his career.

He was expected to bid adieu to international cricket, especially after the debacle in World Cup 2019. But nothing sort of that took place. In fact, a few days back, the news of Dhoni’s retirement that turned out to be rumours eventually once again Proved Dhoni’s impact on Indian cricket. India, after the ongoing T20 series, will be playing a T20I series with Bangladesh where Dhoni can make a comeback if he doesn’t take a call by then.

Dhoni to lead CSK again

On the other hand, in all probability, Dhoni will be playing his last IPL. Under his captaincy, the team touched the sky. The CSK fans are crazy about their ‘Thala’. But with the retirement news doing rounds, there was a question over his IPL career as well. But the owner of the team made it clear that MS would be once again leading the team in IPL. “I can say only one thing. Mahendra Singh Dhoni will only be the captain for the next IPL Chennai Super Kings next season,” he said.
