'In another 10 days.....' - CSK CEO gives major updates on MS Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings

With the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) season just a few months away, speculation surrounds the future of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on whether this upcoming season will mark the end of his tenure with the franchise. While questions linger, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan has opted to keep the details under wraps, deferring the decision to Dhoni himself.

“That I do not know. See, as far as the captain is concerned, he will answer you directly. He does not tell us what he is going to do,” he said at the launch of Junior Super Kings event in Chennai on Saturday.

Talking about the fitness of Dhoni, Kasi said, “He is doing well now. He has started his rehab. He started working in the gym. And, probably in another 10 days he’ll start working in the nets also.”

Following his instrumental role in guiding the Chennai Super Kings to their 5th IPL trophy earlier this year, Dhoni underwent a successful left knee surgery at a Mumbai hospital in June.
