“You’ll definitely see me in the yellow jersey – whether it’s this yellow jersey or some other yellow jersey you will have to wait and watch,” MS Dhoni said to Danny Morrison in IPL 2020.
After winning the IPL 2021 with Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni again gave a subtle hint to Harsha Bhogle that he will be available to play for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2022.

In the game against Rajasthan Royals, MS Dhoni was asked the same question, and he confirmed that he will definitely play next season for the Chennai Super Kings and that he wants to retire in front of the Chennai crowd.
