Former India captain MS Dhoni was recently seen celebrating a friend’s birthday, as per a video shared by a fan on social media.
The visuals of Dhoni enjoying cake-cutting celebrations come right after IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings retained the legendary wicketkeeper-batter for the 2024 season.
CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan reaffirmed that Dhoni, who led the team to a record-equalling fifth IPL crown last season, has committed to playing in 2024 as well.
“Our leader has given his word that he will play next year. Knowing Mahi, he will do what he has promised,” said Viswanathan.
The 42-year-old Dhoni himself told fans earlier that he will look to play at least one more IPL season post his successful knee surgery.
CSK, who released all-rounder Ben Stokes after his unavailability for 2024, now has a purse of Rs 31.4 crore heading into the next player auction.
Along with Mumbai Indians, the Yellow Brigade have won a joint record five IPL titles, including 3 in the last 6 seasons under Dhoni’s leadership.
