‘Ye agle 15 saal aur khelega kya’ – Fans go berserk as CSK CEO believes MS Dhoni may play in next IPL

Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan has made the fans go berserk after he said that he believes that the skipper MS Dhoni may continue to play in the Indian Premier League next season. He said this after CSK played their last home game of IPL 2023 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

There have been rumours since the start of the tournament that the former Indian skipper may play his last season for CSK in IPL 2023. However, Dhoni neither made any statement regarding this nor he confirmed that he will be playing in the next season. Many fans still believe that he will be seen in the CSK yellow jersey next year as well.

“We believe MS Dhoni is going to play next season as well so I hope fans will continue to support us like every time,” Vishwanathan was reportedly quoted as saying.
