Chennai Super Kings have confirmed that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will feature in the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League, ending speculation over the veteran’s future.
“MS has told us that he will be available for the next season,” CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
According to the report Viswanathan has said Dhoni remains closely involved in the franchise’s plans for the upcoming season.
Dhoni was retained by CSK as an “uncapped player” before the 2025 mega auction, when an IPL rule change allowed Indian players who have not played international cricket for five years to go into the auction pool as uncapped.
