CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan opened up about the poster boy's future stating that it was a decision completely up to Dhoni himself. He revealed that Dhoni would sound the decision about his future once he had made up his mind and hoped that the World Cup Winner would be available for the next season.

Chennai Super Kings, the joint-most successful side in the history of the Indian Premier League, missed out on the playoff spot in the ongoing edition of the money-rich tournament by a whisker as they finished outside the top 4 places on net run rate.

However, the measure of success in CSK’s camp has never been about the result and has rather been about the process. The belief in the process has been intrinsically entwined with the ethos of the club with former skipper MS Dhoni at the centre of it.

There was a lot of speculation about the ongoing season being the 42-year-old’s final campaign, with the question of Dhoni’s future weighing heavily on every fans’ mind.

CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanatan opened up about the poster boy’s future stating that it was a decision completely up to the wicketkeeper-batter himself.

“It is a question only MS can answer,” Viswanathan began.

Kasi Sir, as he is fondly known, iterated that Dhoni has made the right decisions time and again and that the team’s management has complete faith in him.

“We have always respected the decisions taken by MS. We have left it to him and as all of you know he has always taken his decisions and announced them at the appropriate time,” he added.

He revealed that Dhoni would sound the decision about his future once he had made up his mind and hoped that the World Cup Winner would be available for the next season.

“We do expect that we will get a decision as and when he decides. But we are very hopeful he’ll be available for CSK next year,” he continued.

“That is the view and expectation of the fans and mine,” Vishwanathan said.

The fabled MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is set to host the second playoff game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals on Friday, before playing holding the summit clash on Sunday with the winner of the playoff game squaring up against Kolkata Knight Riders, who have secured their path to the championship clash with a triumph over SRH in the first qualifier fixture.
