IPL 2022: Will MS Dhoni play for CSK next season? Chennai skipper gives interesting reply

Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni finally broke his silence about the speculation regarding his future with the franchise. During the toss of Chennai Super Kings' final match of IPL 2022 against Rajasthan Royals, the legendary batter was quizzed about his future and he had an interesting reply to the same. 

When questioned if Dhoni will be seen in CSK colours next season, Dhoni said, "Definitely, because it will be unfair to not to say thank you to Chennai. Won't be nice to do that to CSK fans."

This means that Dhoni will continue with CSK in IPL 2023 as well, and the fans of the Chennai Super Kings couldn't have asked for anything better.
