**New Delhi, October 26, 2024:** After weeks of speculation, MS Dhoni’s return to Chennai Super Kings for the 2025 IPL season has been confirmed. The former captain himself hinted at his continued involvement in the sport, stating his desire to “enjoy the game for the next few years.”

CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan, in a statement to Cricbuzz, confirmed Dhoni’s presence in the upcoming season. “When he is ready, what else (do) we want. We are happy,” he said.

Dhoni’s decision to return comes despite a less-than-successful 2024 season for CSK, where they missed the playoffs. He relinquished captaincy duties to Rituraj Gaikwad last season, but his presence will be crucial for the team’s performance next year.

This confirmation ends the long-running speculation surrounding Dhoni’s future in IPL. While many believed he would retire after the 2023 championship, the fan’s demand led him to return last year.

Dhoni’s commitment to playing for another year will be a welcome boost for CSK fans, as they look forward to seeing the legend don the yellow jersey once again.
