MS Dhoni addressed the speculation regarding his future with Chennai Super Kings, clarifying that he will continue to play for the franchise in IPL.
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.

Talking about the match between Chennai and Rajasthan, Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat first, and he also made one change to his side, with Shivam Dube making way for Ambati Rayudu, while on the other hand, Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson also made one change to his side, with Shimron Hetmyer coming in place of Jimmy Neesham.
