IPL: Good news! MS Dhoni to continue with CSK for TWO more years

The CSK management thinks that MS Dhoni still has the quality to finish the innings and remains indispensable to the team’s plans for a couple of years at least.

Former Indian captain and Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni turned 40 on Wednesday (July 7) and while his days with the national team are over, he looks set to continue in the leadership position with his Indian Premier League franchise, CSK at least for another year or two. “He can continue for another one or two years with CSK. He is fully fit, trains a lot. Don`t see any reason why he should stop,” said CSK Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kasi Viswanathan to news agency IANS. Dhoni will lead the franchise in the remainder of IPL 2021 matches in the United Arab Emirates in September-October this year. While his performance with the bat in the first half of the tournament, before it was suspended due to the emergence of COVID-19 cases in the bio-bubble, was ordinary, his leadership has kept the team together. CSK is in second position with five wins in seven matches. This season, like in the previous seasons, he has employed horses for courses policy like bowling out swing bowler Deepak Chahar early in one spell. He pushed Moeen Ali up the order and gave him the license to go after the bowling, backed opener Ruturaj Gaikwad to the hilt.
