The CEO of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Kasi Viswanathan has stated that the captain of CSK, MS Dhoni can still play for at least a couple of years and he can be associated with the franchise as long as he is fit and performing both as a player and captain as well.
Notably, Dhoni is one of the most successful captains in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) who has led CSK to win thrice. After having a poor show in the IPL 2020 where they failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time, Dhoni led the team quite well and they have done well this season before it got suspended after the global pandemic novel COVID-19 affected players inside the bio-bubble.

“He can continue for another one or two years with CSK. He is fully fit, and trains a lot. Don`t see any reason why he should stop. As far as we are concerned, we are happy for what he is doing for CSK. It is not just about his captaincy or the fact that he is a guide or a leader as the most experienced player. We feel he is still good and brings value as a player to the side. He has been a finisher and is doing that for us,” shared Kasi Viswanathan.

On the other hand, MS Dhoni was in scintillating form in 2019 and 2018 where he had scored 416 and 455 runs at a strike rate of 134.62 and 150.66 as well. Now, it would be interesting to see whether he is going to replicate his swashbuckling form in the UAE in the rest of the Indian Premier League when it resumes in the September-October window.
