MS Dhoni has been a veteran of the Chennai Super Kings and has led them to four Indian Premier League titles and the fans will want him to play the next season as well. However, despite all the rumours about Dhoni's availability in the next season, CSK CEO has dropped a remark on his presence in the tournament next season.
