We are very, very hopeful that Dhoni will be available for IPL 2025: CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan. “I am not sure; it is a question that only MS can answer.” The question for us is that we have always respected MS’s decisions and left it up to him,” Kasi Viswanathan said.
MS Dhoni, a veteran Chennai Super Kings batter, has been a consistent performer for the franchise over the years. Dhoni is a legend and a god-like figure among CSK fans, having led the team to five IPL titles. After retiring from international cricket in 2020, Dhoni continues to play for CSK in the IPL.
After the team won the IPL in 2023, MS Dhoni promised to return for another season as a token of appreciation for the fans’ support over the years. However, Dhoni’s IPL 2024 journey did not end happily.
The five-time winners were knocked out of the competition in the group round, and there’s been no word on whether Dhoni will return for another campaign. But Kasi Viswanathan, the CEO of the Chennai Super Kings, has come up to say that they desire to see Dhoni back.
“I’m not sure; only Microsoft can respond to that query. The issue is that we have always accepted MS’s judgments and have left them to him. He has always made his decisions and made them known at the proper moment, as you are all aware. We certainly anticipate hearing from him as soon as he makes a decision. However, we sincerely hope that he will be able to participate in CSK the next year. In a video posted to CSK’s YouTube account, Kasi Viswanathan expressed his and the fans’ expectations.

I have not discussed anything more onViswanathan on Stephen Fleming
The CEO of CSK also discussed the upcoming vacancy for the head coach of the Indian men’s senior squad. Stephen Fleming, the head coach of CSK, is one of the contenders for the position. Viswanathan expressed his opinion that Fleming would not be suited for the position of head coach for India.
“Have you applied for the Indian coaching assignment?’ I questioned Stephen in jest. Stephen simply chuckled and asked, “Do you want me to?” I know he won’t be happy about this because he dislikes being involved in coaching for nine to ten months out of the year. That’s how I feel. I haven’t talked about him any more,” Viswanathan stated.
