Former India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni provided a massive update about his IPL future during a recent event. However, there has been a lot of speculation about him returning to the league for a 19th
consecutive seasons as well. However, Dhoni had a poor 2025 season with the bat, scoring under 200 runs at
an average of 24.50 and a strike rate of 135.17 in 14 matches as well.

However, during an event in Chennai, MS Dhoni said (@7tillexistence X handle): “I have always said that I have a lot of time to decide. But if you go literally by the words coming back in the yellow jersey, it’s not about one year or two years. I’ll always be sitting in a yellow jersey. Whether I’ll be playing or not is a different thing. There is enough time, so no hurry. Nothing will literally happen as of now. But, me and CSK, we are together even for the next 15 to 20 years. I hope they (fans) don’t think I will be playing for another 15 to 20 years.”

MS Dhoni also admitted CSK’s batting order was the biggest letdown in their poor IPL 2025 season as well. Despite a late resurgence, CSK were the worst side in terms of power-play scoring and six-hitting last season as well.

Talking about the same in another event, MS Dhoni said (via India Today): “We are slightly worried about our batting order. But I think our batting order is quite sorted out now. Rutu (Gaikwad) will be coming back. He got injured. But he will be coming back. So, we are quite sorted now. I won’t say we (CSK) slacked off (in IPL 2025). But there were certain holes that we needed to plug in. A small auction is coming in December. Some loopholes are there, and we will try to plug those in.”
