Sarfaraz Khan's purple patch across formats is fuelling his fire to play alongside MS Dhoni at Chennai Super Kings.

MS Dhoni has been contemplating retirement for a few seasons now.

R Ashwin has said that MS Dhoni will take up a new role in the batting order for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2026.

Dhoni is one of the finest batters in IPL history, with 5,439 runs in 278 matches and 242 innings at an average of 38.80, with a strike rate of 137.45 and 24 fifties with a best score of 84*.

MS Dhoni made his feelings clear on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ending their 18-year trophy drought by winning IPL 2025.

While the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, and Kapil Dev made the cut, the exclusions of former India captains MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma were major talking points.

MS Dhoni executed a similar stumping during the 2016 T20 World Cup clash against Bangladesh.

Virat Kohli was quite honest while speaking about the crowd's gesture for him. He made the remark at the end of India's first ODI against New Zealand in Vadodara.

MS Dhoni made his final appearance for Jharkhand in 2015, scoring a 108-ball 70 during a Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture against Delhi.

Spinner Amit Mishra emerged on the Indian cricket scene at a time that also saw the rise of MS Dhoni. He went on to play 22 Tests, 36 ODIs, and 10 T20Is
