The CEO of Chennai Super Kings, Kasi Viswanathan, is extremely optimistic about MS Dhoni’s return for the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League.
When Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated CSK by 27 runs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on May 18, eliminating them from the competition, many fans began to speculate that Dhoni might have played his final IPL game.
However, Viswanathan anticipates Dhoni’s return next season and disclosed that the CSK team management has left the decision up to their five-time IPL-winning captain.
“I do not know,” Viswanathan answered in response to MS Dhoni’s IPL future on CSK’s YouTube channel. “It is a question which only MS can answer. The question for us, we have always respected the decisions taken by MS, we have left it to him.
“As all of you know, he has always taken his decisions and announced it at the appropriate time. We do expect that we will get a decision as and when he decides. But we are very, very hopeful that he will be available for CSK the next year. That is the view and expectations of the fans and mine,” he added.
