Don’t be surprised if MS Dhoni is seen choosing the next coach of Chennai Super Kings. Because there is news that he is ready to take on a big responsibility in CSK. Meaning his stature is going to increase further. Revsportz, quoting sources, has said in its report that Dhoni will be made the mentor of Chennai Super Kings and a decision will be taken on their next coach. The post of coach is vacant in CSK after the departure of Stephen Fleming.
Dhoni can choose the next coach of CSK- report
However, whether the end of Stephen Fleming’s 18-year coaching tenure with CSK also happened with Dhoni’s consent, there is no information about this at present. But, people associated with CSK told Revsportz that Dhoni is ready to play an important role in the franchise and he can also choose the next coach. The report said that CSK won 5 IPL titles. It may take time to select a new coach. But only Dhoni can be seen putting the final seal on who will be perfect for him.
Dhoni with CSK as a player
Dhoni is still a part of CSK as a player. CSK had retained him in the mega auction of IPL 2025 for Rs 4 crore. Dhoni was kept in the category of uncapped player because it had been more than 5 years since Dhoni retired from international cricket.
CSK can make mentor- report
Dhoni did not play a single match in the 2026 IPL due to his injury. Whether he will play in 2027 or not will be entirely Dhoni’s decision. If former CSK captain Dhoni does not want to come as a player, then the franchise can make him a mentor in IPL 2027. According to sources, it is also being said that Dhoni can be given the command of cricket related matters without any official post.
