Kasi Viswanathan the CEO of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) maintains hope that the iconic wicketkeeperbatter MS Dhoni will make a comeback for the IPL 2025 season. Aged 42 Dhoni featured in the IPL 2024 season under Ruturaj Gaikwads guidance leaving many to speculate that his match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) marked his final appearance on the field.
However, MS Dhoni is yet to formally declare his retirement. Viswanathan is also patient with the decision since he believes Dhoni would take his time and notify CSK about his future when it is appropriate.
In a video shared on social media by CSK, Kasi Viswanathan said the following about MS Dhoni:
“It’s a question which only MS can answer. See, the question for us is, we’ve always respected the decisions taken by MS. We have left it to him. And as all of you know, he has always taken his decisions and announced them at the appropriate time. We are very, very hopeful that he will be available for CSK next year. That is the view and the expectations of fans and me. That’s the case.”
