Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO Kasi Viswanathan said that veteran wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni is likely to play all matches in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) while also stating that a final decision of his playing role will be taken by the team management.
With CSK legend Dhoni set to appear in the IPL 2026 for the Men in Yellow, there were concerns about the wicketkeeper-batter participating in all the games, given his age. However, Kasi debunked all such concerns and said, “He will play all the matches, according to me.”
Asked what role he’s likely to takeup in the tournament, with another keeper-batter Samson now in the team, he added, “That I cannot say. That is a cricketing decision which will be taken by the cricketing staff.”
