MS Dhoni’s Unbreakable Bond with CSK: More Than Just Cricket
Even as speculation grows around MS Dhoni’s future in the Indian Premier League, the legendary cricketer has made one thing clear — his bond with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) goes far beyond the cricket field.
At a recent event in Chennai, Dhoni assured fans that regardless of whether he continues playing or not, his association with CSK will remain strong. “I will always be in a yellow jersey. Whether I am playing or not is another question,” he said, reaffirming that he and CSK are “together, even for the next 15–20 years.”
Dhoni, who led CSK since the inaugural IPL season in 2008, returned as captain midway through the challenging 2025 season after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s injury. Reflecting on the year, he admitted that the team struggled — especially with the bat — but expressed confidence that Gaikwad’s return would strengthen the side.
For fans, Dhoni isn’t just a player — he’s the heart of CSK. And with his latest remarks, it’s clear that even when he hangs up his boots, Dhoni’s legacy in yellow will live on.

MS Dhoni Hints at Future, Confirms Faith in Ruturaj and CSK’s Plans
MS Dhoni has once again shown that his commitment to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) goes far beyond just being on the field. Speaking at a fan event in Chennai, Dhoni confirmed that Ruturaj Gaikwad will return after his injury setback, reassuring supporters that the team is in a strong position going forward. “Rutu will be back; he was injured, but he will return. So, we are in a good place now,” Dhoni said.
He also highlighted the importance of the upcoming December mini-auction, calling it a key opportunity to fill the remaining gaps in the squad after a challenging 2025 season.
While retirement speculation continues to swirl around the former India captain, Dhoni has remained non-committal about his playing future. Many expected him to retire after IPL 2024, but he surprised fans by making a comeback in 2025 after recovering from a knee injury.
As for IPL 2026? Dhoni hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but his continued presence — whether as a player or mentor — ensures that the spirit of CSK remains intact.
