This relationship between Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni has become stronger with every season since the beginning of IPL. Amidst all the rumors going on about IPL 2026, now finally CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan has made it clear that Dhoni will remain with the team in the next season also. That means his IPL career is not going to end at the moment.

Yes, according to the latest report of Cricbuzz, Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Vishwanathan has told them during the conversation that MS Dhoni will be available for the next season. This one line has again brought a big smile on the faces of CSK fans. For the last few weeks, there were continuous discussions going on on social media regarding Dhoni’s retirement, but for now the speculations have come to an end.

It is noteworthy that IPL 2025 was very bad for CSK. The team stood last in the points table. In the absence of captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dhoni also took over the captaincy in some matches, but the results were not as expected. Now in IPL 2026, Dhoni will once again enter the team with the intention of making a strong comeback.

If Dhoni plays IPL 2026, it will be his 17th season for CSK and 19th overall in the IPL. Dhoni’s IPL journey, which scored 4,865 runs in 248 matches and won five titles, was no less than a legend. Leading CSK to titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023 is one of the biggest achievements of his golden career.

At the same time, according to this report, Dhoni is also going to play an important role in the team meeting to be held before November 15, which is the last date of retention of players. He, along with CEO Kasi Vishwanathan, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and coach Stephen Fleming, will chart the future of the team.
