The wicket-keeper batsman is getting ready to lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the current edition of IPL. However, the million dollar question props up again-will Dhoni play in IPL 2023?

The Indian Premier league's new franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday unveiled the logo of the team, saying the brand identity draws inspiration from ancient Indian mythology.

The shares of Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited (CSKCL), which controls CSK, had hit an all-time high in the unlisted market on October 26 last year, surging from Rs 110-120 per share to crossing the Rs 220-mark in trade within a week. It brought CSKCL's market cap to around Rs 7,000 crore, which was just Rs 500 crore short of making it to the Unicorn club and came just 11 days after they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 27 runs in the IPL final.

This year the IPL will likely overlap with the England's Test summer, with the knockout stages "likely to clash with their first Test against New Zealand at Lord's in early June", the report said.

However with the emergence of Omicron variant of COVID-19 and cases on the rise, the situation will remain fluid but if there are restrictions with regards to overseas travel (unless all owners decide to use charter planes), conducting it in India will be less of a logistical nightmare.

Among foreign players, Glenn Maxwell, Jos Buttler, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, and Anrich Nortje were retained. All-rounder Kieron Pollard made the cut for Mumbai Indians whereas Moeen Ali was chosen over the likes of Sam Curran, Faf du Plessis and Dwayne Bravo at Chennai Super Kings.

Despite changing and chopping their squads, captain and coaching staff almost every season, Punjab haven't achieved much success in the history of the cash-rich league.

Earlier, Dhoni had himself confirmed that his last T20 game will be in Chennai. "I have always planned my cricket. My last ODI in India was in Ranchi. Hopefully, my last T20 will be in Chennai. Whether it's next year or in five years' time, I don't know," Dhoni had said at a recent CSK event.

"It's an honour and great opportunity to serve such a great franchise in the capacity of head coach."

Dhoni has not cleared his availability for the IPL 2022. However, he did indicate that he may come back for the next season

With two more teams joining the bandwagon in 2022, there are lots of uncertainties around the retention rules for the franchises and the veteran wicket-keeper batsman revealed that he will take a suitable decision at the right time

After Virat Kohli made announcement of quitting Team India T20 captaincy due to possible workload, another chorus has started doing the round among cricket enthusiasts. They say that the 32-year-old should also step down from the Royal Challengers Bangalore leadership role as the "work-load" in the Indian Premier League is "no less" than any international event.

Next year IPL is going to be super exciting with ten teams expected to clash for the coveted trophy. The Board of Control for Cricket in India or the BCCI has shortlisted six cities for the eventual two new franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.

The two new franchises are expected to participate in IPL 2022. The talks of new franchises have been on for a few months now.
