Mahendra Singh Dhoni will return to lead the defending champion Chennai Super Kings when the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League commences, CSK confirmed in a social media post on X on Sunday. It has been confirmed that MS Dhoni will return to action in the upcoming Indian Premier League season, as Chennai Super Kings announced their list of retained and released players ahead of the auction. The auction is scheduled to be held in Dubai on December 19. This will also be the first time that the auction will be held outside India. Dhoni, who has led the team to five IPL titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023, was initially unsure whether he would want to feature in the upcoming iteration of the cash-rich league.Dhoni's status in 2024 was subjected to scrutiny by fans as he played the last season with an injured knee. He also underwent a knee surgery immediately after the season earlier this year, which was successful. For the auction, CSK now have ₹32.1 crore, and they will be looking to reinforce their squad so that they can defend their title. Meanwhile, Rayudu has been released as he retired in 2023. Also, in what is good news for fans, Dhoni will be playing.
