The first crack in their relationship is believed to have appeared four seasons back, when CSK officials asked Ravindra Jadeja to step down from the captaincy role. The decision to remove Jadeja eventually from the captaincy role, and later entirely from the team, was believed to be taken without Dhoni’s nod.
Because of the team’s poor form, the management removed Ravindra Jadeja from the captaincy in the middle of the season and reappointed MS Dhoni as the captain. Later, Jadeja was traded out of the Chennai Super Kings, ahead of the IPL 2026 season, to bring in Sanju Samson from the Rajasthan Royals.
Trading out Ravindra Jadeja is also believed to be a major point that affected MS Dhoni and CSK's bond
If the claims made in the report are to be believed, the Chennai Super Kings officials, instead of taking Dhoni’s advice seriously, snubbed Ravindra Jadeja from the captaincy unceremoniously.
“Once Dhoni backed, he didn’t have multiple versions. He would stick to his players forever,” a source told CricBlogger.
Contrasting reports on MS Dhoni's future with the Chennai Super Kings
Dhoni is now 45, well over his prime, did not feature in a single match in the previous season, and is nearing his IPL retirement. At this point, like many other cricketers in the league, he could also choose to join the coaching staff of the franchise. In a different report, it was claimed that Super Kings could appoint MS Dhoni as their mentor.
What's really going on behind the curtain will be clear if either the franchise or Dhoni himself opens their mouths to clear all the doubts.
