Dhoni, who is now 45, could be seen as CSK's mentor in the upcoming season. Ahead of the IPL 2027 season, multiple star cricketers are under the radar, and Chennai Super Kings are one of the teams looking to revamp their squad.
MS Dhoni's knee injury is considered one of the major setbacks for the former skipper. According to previously published reports, during the IPL 2026 season, Dhoni had been working on his speed for running between the wickets, but it was not enough to meet the fitness standards of the franchise league.
MS Dhoni's fitness remains a concern for the Chennai Super Kings
Despite the knee issue, for which he needed surgery, his fitness remains a concern. Thus, the keeper-batter is likely not to continue as a cricketer anymore for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2027. But that doesn't mean that Dhoni will leave the franchise; he will continue with a bigger role, a role of a mentor, mentor cum coach or coach cum mentor.
MS Dhoni is likely to be the mentor of CSK in IPL 2027
As the team is required to find a new head coach, MS Dhoni is believed to be one of the main contenders to take over the role. Rohit Juglan, however, strongly believes that Dhoni as a CSK coach is unlikely to happen. He could be the mentor of the Chennai Super Kings, but not the successor of Stephen Fleming.
"Although it would be easy to say that he will not come in the role of a coach, most likely he will come as a mentor," he further mentions.
