Former India captain MS Dhoni is “uncertain” about his future at Chennai Super Kings after this season of the Indian Premier League, considering there is no clarity on the retention policy.
"You'll see me in yellow next season but whether I'll be playing for CSK you never know. There are a lot of uncertainties coming up, two new teams are coming, we don't know what the retention rules are and so on," Dhoni was quoted saying ahead of the Super Kings’ clash against Punjab Kings.
The cash-rich league’s 2022 edition will see an addition of two more franchises and a mega auction is set to take place.
Dhoni has been CSK’s skipper right from the beginning and has led the side to three titles (2010, 2011, 2018).
Chennai Super Kings along with Rajasthan Royals were not a part of the IPL in the 2016 and 2017 seasons as the two sides were slapped with individual bans in a spot-fixing scandal. The wicket-keeper batsman played for Rising Pune Supergiant for two years before returning to CSK in 2018.
The Chennai-based franchise is having a great run in the on-going IPL 2021 after it registered a place in the playoffs.
