MS Dhoni’s Future with CSK Uncertain
It has been months since the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) season ended, but it is not yet clear whether former captain MS Dhoni will play for Chennai in the next season or not. At the beginning of last season, MS Dhoni decided to step down from captaincy. After this, Super Kings handed over the leadership to Ruturaj Gaikwad. Although Chennai failed to qualify for the playoffs, Gaikwad impressed a lot with his captaincy, but there is still discussion among fans and all sections whether Dhoni will play for Chennai next season or not. But now the news that is coming out is that according to them, Dhoni’s return to Chennai depends entirely on the retention rules of IPL and BCCI.

Retention Rules and Mega Auction
The BCCI has yet to clarify how many players each franchise can retain for the IPL mega auction early next year. According to the report, MS Dhoni can play next season only if the BCCI allows each franchise to retain 5-6 players
The players who are most expected to be retained by the Chennai management are captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Mathisha Theekshana, and Shivam Dubey. However, the order of these retentions may vary. According to a report a few days ago, all the franchise owners had demanded more players from the BCCI to retain, but the board’s view is that if this happens, it will reduce the players in the auction and will also affect the excitement of the auction
