Captain Cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni is all set to lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK) one more time in the 2024 season of Indian Premier League (IPL).
CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan has recently informed about the development during an interview.
“Dhoni told us immediately after the final is over that he will fly to Mumbai, have surgery and go back to Ranchi for rehab. In Mumbai, after Ruturaj’s wedding, I visited him. It was a courtesy call. He is quite comfortable. He said he will rest for three weeks and then start his rehab. And like he said, he is not going to play until January-February. We don’t need to remind him about all that,” said Viswanathan.
“He knows what to do, how to go about it. So we aren’t going to ask him ‘what are you going to do, how’ etc. He will inform us on his own. Whatever he’s doing, he’ll call first and inform only Mr N Srinivasan, not anyone else. Factually, he’ll be straightforward with him. From him, we’ll get the information that this is what he’s doing. It’s been this way since 2008. That is how it will continue,” he added.
Notably, Dhoni will turn 42 on July 7 next month. However, age will not be a barrier for him to lead CSK in IPL 2024 next year.
After guiding CSK to emerge champions of the cash-rich league for record equaling fourth time, Dhoni underwent a knee surgery in Mumbai immediately after the IPL 2023 final last month. He is currently recovering at home in Ranchi and is unlikely to hit cricket field for the next three or four months.
After IPL 2023, Dhoni had announced that he wanted to lead CSK for one more season as a gift to the fans for showering their love on him.
