After staying away from cricket administration, the 80-year-old returned to lead Chennai Super Kings following a difficult IPL 2025 season. CSK finished at the bottom of the table for the first time, winning only four of 14 matches. Notably, Ruturaj Gaikwad was replaced by MS Dhoni mid-season due to injury.
"The five-time IPL champions expect MS Dhoni to play for at least one more year. According to sources and CSK insiders, this development follows the return of N. Srinivasan, the former BCCI and ICC president, to helm the franchise once again," Chakrabarty said.

MSD Last Seen in Action for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025
Dhoni last featured in the 2025 IPL, where Chennai Super Kings retained him as an uncapped player for ₹4 crore under the new retention rules.
Dhoni scored 196 runs across 13 innings at a strike rate of 135.17. The 44-year-old has not yet confirmed his IPL future and plans to make a decision in December ahead of the mega auction.
MS Dhoni Likely to Continue for One More IPL Season
"Whenever an IPL comes, over the last few years, there has been ongoing speculation about whether this will be MS Dhoni's last IPL, and if he will hang up his boots after the tournament. Last year, CSK didn’t qualify for the playoffs," Chakrabarty stated.
Dhoni retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020. He ended his career with 17,226 runs and 195 stumpings, the highest in international cricket. The legendary wicketkeeper-batter was recently inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame for remarkable contributions to the sport.
