For somebody who is not just a talented Cricketer, but an exceptional and highly successful All format, former captain of India, it is hardly a matter, surprised that MS Dhoni eventually became a big legend in the world of the IPL. Truth be told there are Cricketers, there are talented cricketers, and Cricketers who happen to achieve outstanding success, but only a few among them who become legends.
And lasting ones at that! It may not be wrong to say in any which way that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a timeless legend of not just Indian cricket, but also franchise Cricket given is excellent services over the years to the Chennai Super Kings.
Someone who has been a loyal servant and a dedicated asset of the Chennai Super Kings from All these years as One looks back in the past. Except for that one season, where he played for the Pune franchise, which came and went at the blink of an eye, Dhoni’s royalties and judicious was firmly inclined towards CSK. Today, you cannot happen to think of CSK, but not imagine Dhoni’s contribution in making the outfit legendary.
And now it appears that he has been given a brand responsibility of mentoring next generation of CSK talent, so that they can carve their own special path towards Cricketing glory.
Having spent much of the last season and even the one before that benched making scant appearances in 2025 and then hardly any appearance in the recent addition that was held in 2026. MS Dhoni became a four lawn or lost figure at the Indian Premier League. But the great man under whose watch the legendary franchise 5 titles is now returning in a bigger and grand rule Pinterest with a great responsibility for channelising the best for the present and the future generations at the Chennai team.
He hit 264 sixes and 375 fours and struck nearly 5500 runs from 278 games as a player for CSK whilst captaining the Chennai outfit clearly for over 200 games and here he is again: MS Dhoni with a critical and tall ask as the mentor of the famed side.
But sources close to the CSK franchise, suggesting that Dhoni is being considered for a role of a mentor. This offers well for talent like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson Sarfaraz Khan and the likes. Don’t you think? Plus it’ll have fans see the great man in motion, once again.
