MS Dhoni is all set to lead the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) into another Indian Premier League (IPL) season. He won the title for CSK for five times since being bought by them in the inaugural IPL. Since the start of the IPL, the keeper-batter has always played in the middle-order.

Now, the former Indian captain says he has a new surprise for fans. Posting on facebook, Dhoni wrote how he was excited for the new season and a “new role”. He didn’t mention exactly what the new role was, but asked fans to stay tuned.

Many expected Dhoni to retire after winning the 2023 IPL, where CSK beat Gujarat Titans in a thriller. But he announced that he was going to play another season in the IPL for his beloved CSK. Playing the entire 2023 IPL with a knee injury, the veteran played through and had a surgery after the tournament. 

Fans come up with theories regarding MS Dhoni’s new role 

When MS Dhoni’s post went viral on the internet, many people were left confused. Many thought it meant Dhoni would now change positions as a batter, maybe coming to open. Others believed he was soon going to take a coaching role for his team, something he did for India in the 2021 T20 World Cup.

MS Dhoni has been a captain for an IPL franchise in every season, barring 2017. He currently holds the record for the most IPL titles won as captain, with five. In 2021 he was replaced by Ravindra Jadeja as captain, but took over in the middle of the tournament as the team were performing poorly.
